Abstract: Three dimensional inverse transient thermoelastic
problem of a semi-infinite hollow cylinder is considered within
the context of the theory of generalized thermoelasticity. The
lower surface, upper surface and inner surface of the semi-
infinite hollow cylinder occupying the space
D {( x, y, z ) R : a ( x y ) b, 0 z }
3 2 2 1/ 2
are
known boundary conditions. Finite Marchi-Zgrablich transform
and Fourier sine transform techniques are used to determine the
unknown temperature gradient, temperature distribution,
displacement and thermal stresses on outer curved surface of a
cylinder. The distribution of the considered physical variables
are obtained and represented graphically.
Keywords: Thermoelastic problem, semi-infinite hollow cylinder,
Thermal Stresses, inverse problem, Marchi-Zgrablich transform
and Fourier sine transform.
I. INTRODUCTION
K hobragade et al. [1, 5-11] have investigated
temperature distribution, displacement function, and
stresses of a thin as well as thick hollow cylinder and
Khobragade et al. [2] have established displacement function
, temperature distribution and stresses of a semi-infinite
cylinder.
Yoon Hwan Choi et. al. [16] discussed the temperature
distributions of the heated plate investigated with the
condition that the line heating process was automatic. The
temperature variations were also investigated with the
changes of those three variables. The numerical results
showed that the peak temperature decreased as the moving
velocity of the heating source increased. It also revealed that
the peak temperatures changed linearly with the changes of
the heating source. Xijing Li, Hongtan Wu, Jingwei Zhou
and Qun He [15] studied one-dimensional linear inverse heat
problem. This ill-posed problem is replaced by the perturbed
problem with a non localized boundary condition. After the
derivation of its closed-form analytical solution, the
calculation error can be determined by the comparison
between the numerical and exact solutions.
Michael J. Cialkowski and Andrzej Frckowiak [12]
presented analysis of a solution of Laplace equation with the
www.ijltemas.in
use of FEM harmonic basic functions. The essence of the
problem is aimed at presenting an approximate solution based
on possibly large finite element. Introduction of harmonic
functions allows reducing the order of numerical integration
as compared to a classical Finite Element Method. Numerical
calculations confirm good efficiency of the use of basic
harmonic functions for resolving direct and inverse problems
of stationary heat conduction. Gao-Lian Liu [4] studied the
inverse heat conduction problem with free boundary and
transformed into one with completely known boundary, which
is much simpler to handle. As a by-product, the classical
Kirchhoffs transformation for accounting for variable
conductivity is rederived and an invariance property of the
inverse problem solution with respect to variable conductivity
is indicated. Then a pair of complementary extremum
principles is established on the image plane, providing a
sound theoretical foundation for the Ritzs method and finite
element method (FEM). An example solved by FEM is also
given.
Michael J. Cialkowski [13] presented the application of heat
polynomials for solving an inverse problem. The heat
polynomials form the Treffetz Method for non-stationary heat
conduction problem. They have been used as base functions
in Finite Element Method. Application of heat polynomials
permits to reduce the order of numerical integration as
compared to the classical Finite Element Method with
formulation of the matrix of system of equations. Gao-Lian
Liu and Dao- Fang Zhang [3] discussed two methods of
solution generalized Ritz method and variable-domain
FEM both capable of handling problems with unknown
boundaries are suggested. Then, three sample numerical
examples have been tested. The computational process is
quite stable, and the results are encouraging. This variational
approach can be extended straightforwardly to 3-D inverse
problems as well as to other problems in mathematical
physics. In the present problem, an attempt is made to study
the three dimensional inverse transient thermoelastic
problems to determine the unknown temperature, temperature
distribution, displacement function and thermal stresses on
upper plane surface of a thin rectangular object occupying the
