Displacements and Stresses in Rotating FGM Pressurized Thick Hollow cylindrical Shells Based on HSDT

Authors

Abstract

This article presents an elastic analysis and a closed form analytical solution for rotating functionally graded thick-walled hollow cylindrical shells subjected to constant internal and/or external pressure. Regarding the problem which could not be solved through elasticity theory, the solution based on the higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is suggested. The material is assumed to be isotropic heterogeneous with constant Poisson’s ratio and radially varying elastic modulus and density continuously along the thickness with a power function. Based on HSDT, and the virtual work principle, the general governing differential equations of axisymmetric rotating pressurized thick cylindrical shells made up of functionally graded materials (FGM) have been derived. Following that, the set of non-homogenous linear differential equations with constant coefficients for the cylinder with clamped-clamped ends was solved analytically, and the effect of loading and inhomogeneity on the stresses and displacements was investigated. The results are compared with the findings of both shear deformation theory (SDT) and finite element method (FEM). Finally the effects of higher-order approximations on the stresses and displacements have been studied.
