Abstract

The present paper deals with the determination of the displacement and thermal stresses in a thin circular plate defined as 0 ≤ r ≤ b, 0 ≤ z ≤ h under a steady temperature field, due to a constant rate of heat generation within it. A thin circular plate is insulated at the fixed circular boundary (r = b), and the remaining boundary surfaces (z = 0, z = h) are kept at zero temperature. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by using an integral transform technique. The results are obtained in series form in terms of modified Bessel functions. The results for displacement and stresses have been computed numerically and are illustrated graphically.
