Thermoelastic transient response of multilayered conical shells subjected to vapor field

The problems of the three-dimensional axisymmetric quasi-static coupled thermoelastic for the laminated circular conical shells subjected to vapor field. The water vapor temperature and pressure relation assumed for the inner boundary. The water vapor temperature and pressure data were obtained from a thermodynamic steam table. The formulation begins with the basic equations of thermoelasticity in curvilinear circular conical coordinates. Laplace transform and finite difference methods are used to analyze problems. The solution is obtained by using the matrix similarity transformation and inverse Laplace transform. We obtain solutions for the temperature and thermal deformation distributions in a transient and steady state. Moreover, the computational procedures established in this thesis, can solve the generalized thermoelasticity problem for multilayered conical shells with nonhomogeneous materials.
