Abstract

The present work is an attempt to develop a simple and accurate finite element formulation for the thermal shock analysis of the rotating porous cracked pretwisted functionally graded material (FGM) microblade using modified coupled stress theory in conjunction with phase-field and first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The physical neural surface is taken as the reference plane and the exact value of the shear correction factor is calculated from the shear stiffness. The elastic properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and the upper ceramic layer is subjected to a high thermal shock whereas the bottom metallic layer is maintained at room temperature or is thermally insulated. The governing differential equation for the present analysis is derived using Hamilton’s principle and Newmark average acceleration method is used to obtain the transient response of the rotating porous cracked pretwisted FGM microblade subjected to thermal shock. The results obtained from the present finite element formulation are first validated with several benchmark examples available in the literature. New results are presented investigating the effect of crack depth, crack location, crack angle, rotational velocity and material scale ratio on the transient response of the cracked rotating porous pretwisted FGM microblade subjected to thermal shock. It is shown here that the parameters like crack depth, crack location and crack angle have a significant influence on the transient response of the rotating porous cracked pretwisted FGM microblade.
