Abstract
ABSTRACTMechanical behavior of a viscoelastic cylindrical panel with various edge boundary conditions, made up of functionally graded material (FGM) and subjected to thermal or mechanical load is investigated. For cases of simply supported boundary conditions, analytical solution is presented through Fourier series expansion along the axial and circumferential coordinates as well as state space method along the radial coordinate. For nonsimply supported conditions, semi-analytical solution is performed using differential quadrature method instead of Fourier series solution. Governing differential equations are transformed to Laplace transform domain and using inverse Laplace transform, obtained solutions are converted to time domain. In the present work, relaxation modulus of FGM is supposed to be according to the Prony series with power law variations along the radial direction. Numerical comparison was made with the available published results to assess the validity of present technique. Effect of relaxation time constant, thickness to mid-radius ratio, edges boundary condition and outer surface temperature on stress and displacement fields are discussed. Besides, time history of stresses for different relaxation time constant and for various boundary conditions is presented.
