Abstract

An analytical framework is developed for the thermoelastic analysis of annular sector plate whose boundaries are subjected to elastic reactions. The exact expression for transient heat conduction with internal heat sources is obtained using a classical method. The fourth-order differential equation for the thermally induced deflection is obtained by developing a new integral transformation in accordance with the simply supported elastic supports that are subjected to elastic reactions. Here it is supposed that the movement of the boundaries is limited by an elastic reaction, that is, (a) shearing stress is proportional to the displacement, and (b) the reaction moment is proportional to the rate of change of displacement with respect to the radius. Finally, the maximum thermal stresses distributed linearly over the thickness of the plate are obtained in terms of resultant bending momentum per unit width. The calculation is obtained for the steel, aluminium and copper material plates using Bessel's function can be expressed in infinite series form, and the results are depicted using a few graphs.
