ABSTRACT
We apply integral transformation techniques to study thermoelastic response of a thick
annular disc, in general in which sources are generated according to the linear function of the
temperature, with boundary conditions of the radiation type. The results are obtained as series
of Bessel functions. Numerical calculations are carried out for a particular case of a thick disc
made of Aluminum metal and the results are depicted in figures.

1 INTRODUCTION
As a result of the increased usage of industrial and construction materials the interest in
isotropic thermal stress problems has grown considerably. However there are only a few
studies concerned with the two-dimensional steady state thermal stress. Nowacki [9] has
determined steady-state thermal stresses in a thick circular plate subjected to an axisymmetric
temperature distribution on the upper face with zero temperature on the lower face and
circular edge. Wankhede [6] has determined the quasi-static thermal stresses in circular plate
subjected to arbitrary initial temperature on the upper face with lower face at zero
temperature. However, there arent many investigations on transient state. Roy Choudhuri [7]
has succeeded in determining the quasi-static thermal stresses in a circular plate subjected to
transient temperature along the circumference of circular upper face with lower face at zero
temperature and the fixed circular edge thermally insulated. Noda et al. [5] have considered a
circular plate and discussed the transient thermoelastic-plastic bending problem, making use
of the strain increment theorem. In a recent work, some problems have been solved by Noda
et al. [5] and Kulkarni et al. [8]. In all aforementioned investigations an axisymmetrically
heated plate has been considered. Recently, Nasser [3, 4] proposed the concept of heat sources
in generalized thermoelasticity and applied to a thick plate problem. They have not however
considered any thermoelastic problem with boundary conditions of radiation type, in which
sources are generated according to the linear function of the temperatures, which satisfies the
time-dependent heat conduction equation. From the previous literatures regarding thick
annular disc as considered, it was observed by the author that no analytical procedure has
been established, considering internal heat sources generation within the body. The success of

this novel research mainly lies with the new mathematical procedures with a much simpler
approach for optimization for the design in terms of material usage and performance in
engineering problem, particularly in the determination of thermoelastic behaviour in thick
disc engaged as the foundation of pressure vessels, furnaces, etc.
This paper is concerned with the transient thermoelastic problem in a thick annular disc in
which sources are generated according to the linear function of temperature, occupying the
space D {( x, y, z ) R 3 : a ( x 2 y 2 )1 / 2 b, h z h}, where r ( x 2 y 2 )1 2 with radiation type
boundary conditions.
2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

In the first instance, we consider a thick annular disc in which sources are generated
according to the linear function of temperature. The material of the disc is isotropic,
homogenous and all properties are assumed to be constant. Heat conduction with internal heat
source and the prescribed boundary conditions of the radiation type, the quasi-static thermal
stresses are required to be determined. The equation for heat conduction is (r , z, t ), the
temperature, in cylindrical coordinates, is:
1 2

2 (r , z, t , )
r
r
t
(1)
where (r , z, t , ) is the internal source function, and / C , being the thermal

conductivity of the material, is the density and C is the calorific capacity, assumed to be
constant. For convenience, we consider the undergiven functions as the superposition of the
simpler function [1]:
(r , z, t , ) (r , z, t ) (t ) (r , z, t )
(2)
And
T (r , z , t ) (r , z , t ) exp 0 ( )d ,
(r , z , t ) (r , z , t ) exp 0 ( )d
or for the sake of brevity, we consider

(r , z , t )

3 SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM

3.1 Transient heat conduction analysis
In order to solve fundamental differential equation (4) under the boundary condition (6), we
firstly introduce the integral transform [2] of order n over the variable r. Let n be the
parameter of the transform, then the integral transform and its inversion theorem are written
as
b
g (n) a r g (r ) S p (k1 , k 2 , n r ) dr , g (r )
( g p (n) / Cn ) S p (k1, k 2 , n r )
n1
(17)
where g p (n) is the transform of g (r ) with respect to nucleus S p (k1, k2 , n r ) .

Applying the transform defined in equation (17) to the equations (3), (4), (5) and (7), and
taking into account equation (6), one obtains
n2T (n, z , t )
2T (n, z , t )
T (n, z , t )
(n, z , t )
t
z 2
61
(18)
M t (T ,1, 0, 0) T0
(19)
M z (T ,1, k3 , h) exp(t ) r0 S0 (k1, k2 , n r0 ), M z (T ,1, k4 , h) 0
(20)
(n, z, t ) r0 S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r0 ) ( z z0 ) exp( t )
(21)
where T is the transformed function of T and n is the transform parameter. The eigenvalues
n are the positive roots of the characteristic equation
J 0 (k1 , a) Y0 ( k 2 , b) J 0 (k 2 , b) Y0 (k1 , a) 0
The kernel function S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) can be defined as

S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) J 0 ( n r ) [Y0 (k1 , n a) Y0 (k 2 , nb)] Y0 ( n r ) [ J 0 (k1 , n a) J 0 (k 2 , nb)]
With
J 0 (ki , r ) J 0 ( r ) ki J 0 ( r )
Y0 (ki , r ) Y0 ( r ) ki Y0 ( r )
for i 1, 2
And
b
Cn a r[S0 (k1, k2 , nb)]2 dr
in which J 0 ( r ) and Y0 ( r ) are Bessel functions of first and second kind of order p 0
respectively.
We introduce the another integral transform [1] that responds to the boundary conditions of
type (7)
h
f (m, t )
m 1
f (m, t ) f ( z, t ) Pm ( z ) dz, f ( z, t )
Pm ( z )
(22)
Further applying the transform defined in equation (22) to the equations (18), (19) and (21),
and using equation (20) one obtains
n2T * (n, m, t )
Pm (h)
dT * (n, m, t )

M t (T * ,1, 0, 0) T0*
(24)
* (n, m, t ) r0 S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r0 ) Pm ( z 0 ) exp( t )
(25)
62
where T * is the transformed function of T and m is the transform parameter. The symbol (
) means a function in the transformed domain, and the nucleus is given by the orthogonal
functions in the interval h z h as
Pm ( z ) Qm cos(am z ) Wm sin( am z )
Where
Qm am (k3 k 4 ) cos(am h),
Wm 2 cos(am h) (k3 k 4 )am sin( am h),
h
m Pm2 ( z ) dz h [Qm2 Wm2 ]

h
sin( 2am h) 2
[Qm Wm2 ]
2am
The eigenvalues am are the positive roots of the characteristic equation

[k3 a cos(ah) sin( ah)] [cos(ah) k 4 a sin( ah)]
[k 4 a cos(ah) sin( ah)] [cos(ah) k3 a sin( ah)]
After performing some calculations on equation (23) and using equation (25), the reduction is
made to linear first order differential equation as
dT *
n,m T * H ( n , am )
dt
(26)
Where
2
n,m n2 am
And
P (h)
H ( n , am ) m
Pm ( z0 ) r0 S0 (k1, k 2 , n r0 ) exp( t )
k3
The general solution of equation (26) is a function

T * (n, m, t ) exp( n,m t )
H (n , m )
exp( n,m t ) C
n,m
(27)
Using equations (24) in equation (27), we obtain the values of arbitrary constants C.
Substituting these values in (27) one obtains the transformed temperature solution as
T * (n, m, t )
H ( n , am )
H ( n , am )
exp( t ) T0*
exp( n,m t )
n,m
n,m
(28)
63
Applying inversion theorems of transformation rules defined in equations (17) to the equation
(28), there results
T (n, z, t )
m1 m
[n,m exp( t ) (T0* n,m ) exp( n,m t )] Pm ( z )
(29)
and then accomplishing inversion theorems of transformation rules defined in equations (22)
on equation (29), the temperature solution is shown as follows:
1 1
[n,m exp(t ) (T0* n,m ) exp( n,m t )] Pm ( z ) S0 (k1, k 2 , n r )
n1 Cn m1 m
T (r , z, t )
(30)
Where
n,m
H ( n , am )
n,m
Taking into account the first equation of equation (3), the temperature distribution is finally
represented by
1 1
n1 n m1 m
(r , z , t )
t
S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) exp 0 ( )d
(31)
The function given in equation (31) represents the temperature at every instant and at all
points of thick annular disc of finite height when there are conditions of radiation type.
3.2 Thermoelastic solution
Referring to the fundamental equation (1) and its solution (31) for the heat conduction
problem, the solution for the displacement function are represented by the Goodiers
thermoelastic displacement potential governed by equation (11) are represented by
1
1
1

t
1 n 1 C n m 1 m n,m
(r , z, t )
S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) exp 0 ( )d
(32)
Similarly, the solution for Michells function M are assumed so as to satisfy the governed
condition of equation (12) as
1
1 1
M (r , z, t )
[n,m exp( t ) (T0* n,m ) exp( n,m t )]
t
1 n 1 C n m 1 m n,m
64
[sinh( n z ) z cosh( n z )] S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) exp 0 ( )d
(33)
In this manner two displacement functions in the cylindrical coordinate system and M are
fully formulated. Now, in order to obtain the displacement components, we substitute the
values of thermoelastic displacement potential and Michells function M in equations (9)
and (10), one obtains
1

ur
t
1 n 1 C n m 1 m n,m

t
S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) exp 0 ( )d
(35)
Thus, making use of the two displacement components, the dilation is established as

[ Pm ( z ) ( n 1) cosh( n z ) n z sinh( n z ) am
Pm ( z ) (4 1) n2 cosh( n z )
n3 (cosh( n z ) z sinh( n z ))] S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) exp 0 ( )d
(36)
Then, the stress components can be evaluated by substituting the values of thermoelastic
displacement potential from equation (32) and Michells function M from equation (33) in
equations (13), (14), (15) and (16), one obtains

5 NUMERICAL RESULTS, DISCUSSION AND REMARKS

To interpret the numerical computations, we consider material properties of Aluminum metal,
which can be commonly used in both, wrought and cast forms. The low density of aluminum
results in its extensive use in the aerospace industry, and in other transportation fields. Its
resistance to corrosion leads to its use in food and chemical handling (cookware, pressure
vessels, etc.) and to architectural uses.

Figure 1 shows the temperature distribution along the radial and thickness direction of the

increase in temperature was found at the beginning of the transient period. As expected,
temperature drop becomes more and more gradually along thickness direction. It is also
observed that, without internal heat source, magnitude of temperature gradient decreases.

In order for the solution to be meaningful the series expressed in equation (43) should
converge for all a r b and h z h . The temperature equation (43) can be expressed as
M
n,m
n 1 m1 Cn m
[ exp( t ) exp( n,m t )] Pm ( z ) S0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) exp[ t 2 / 2]
(48)
We impose conditions so that (r , z, t ) converge in some generalized sense to g (r, s) as t 0

in the transform domain. Taking into account of the asymptotic behaviors of
Pm (z ), n , S 0 (k1 , k 2 , n r ) and C n [1, 2], it is observed that the series expansion for (r , z , t ) will
be theoretically convergent due to the bounded functions.
As convergence of the series for r b implies convergence for all r b at any value of z. An
exact solution requires use of infinite number of terms in the equations. The effects of
truncating of terms are brought out by the comparison table for solutions of different
functions for 5 and 10 terms. For the convergence test of the present method, we calculate the
temperature values at the point r = 4, z =1 with different time for 5 terms and 10 terms, as
shown in the table 1.

From Table 1, we can see that series solutions converge rapidly provided we take sufficient
number of terms in the series.
CONCLUSION
In this study, we treated the two-dimensional thermoelastic problem of a thick annular disc in
which sources are generated according to the linear function of the temperature. We
successfully established and obtained the temperature distribution, displacements and stress
functions with additional sectional heat, exp(t ) (r r0 ) available at the edge z h of the
disc. Then, in order to examine the validity of two-dimensional thermoelastic boundary value
problem, we analyze, as a particular case with mathematical model for ( ) and
numerical calculations were carried out. Moreover, assigning suitable values to the
parameters and functions in the equations of temperature, displacements and stresses
respectively, expressions of special interest can be derived for any particular case. We may
conclude that the system of equations proposed in this study can be adapted to design of
useful structures or machines in engineering applications in the determination of
thermoelastic behaviour with radiation.
