Transient Thermoelastic Problem of Angle-Ply Laminated Cylindrical Panel due to Nonuniform Heat Supply

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the theoretical treatment of transient thermoelastic problem involving an angle-ply laminated cylindrical panel consisting of an oblique pile of layers having orthotropic material properties due to nonuniform heat supply in the circumferential direction. We obtain the exact solution for the two-dimensional temperature change in a transient state, and thermal stresses of a simple supported cylindrical panel under the state of generalized plane deformation. As an example, numerical calculations are carried out for a 2-layered angle-ply laminated cylindrical panel, which is heated from inner surface. Some numerical results for the temperature change, the displacement and the stresses in a transient state are shown in figures. Furthermore, the influence of the radius ratio on the temperature change, the displacement and the stress distributions are investigated.
