Generalized coupled transient response of 3-D multilayered hollow cylinder

This paper deals three-dimensional axisymmetric quasi-static coupled thermoelastic problems. Laplace transform and finite difference methods are used to analyze problems. Using the Laplace transform with respect to time, the general solutions of the governing equations are obtained in transform domain. 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 different length hollow cylinder with nonhomogeneous materials.
