Transient thermal stress analysis of multilayered hollow cylinder

This paper deals with the transient response of one-dimensional axisymmetri c quasistatic coupled thermoelastic problems. Laplace transform and finite difference methods are used to analyze the problems. Using the Laplace tran sform with respect to time, the general solutions of the governing equation s are obtained in the transform domain. The solution is obtained by using t he matrix similarity transformation and inverse Laplace transform. We obtai n solutions for the temperature and thermal stress distribution in a transi ent state. Moreover, the computational procedures established in this artic le can solve the generalized thermoelasticity problem for a multilayered ho llow cylinder with orthotropic material properties.
