Some study of Thermoelastic Steady State behavior of Thick annular disc with Internal Heat Generation

Abstract

The present paper deals with the determination of displacement and thermal stresses in a thick annular disc with internal heat generation. Arbitrary heat �� �� is applied on the upper surface of disc whereas lower surface dissipates heat by convection and the fixed circular edge are thermally insulated. Here we compute the effects of internal heat generation of a thick annular disc in terms of stresses along radial direction. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by the method of integral transform technique. The results are obtained in a series form in terms of Bessel's functions. The results for temperature change, displacement and stresses have been computed numerically and illustrated graphically.
