Abstract
In this paper, thermoviscoelastic behavior of a hollow cylinder made of short fiber-reinforced polymer considering porosity is investigated by an analytical method. Material properties, except the Poisson’s ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion, are assumed to be changed with the volume of constituents and porosity. Utilizing the finite Hankle integral transform and Laplace transform, analytical solutions for thermoviscoelastic behaviors of short fiber-reinforced polymer hollow cylinders under thermal and mechanical loads are obtained. Numerical examples show the influences of thermal load, mechanical load, and material porosity on the thermoviscoelastic behaviors of short fiber-reinforced polymer cylindrical structures.
