Thermoelastic analysis of a nonhomogeneous hollow cylinder with internal heat generation
In the present paper, we have determined the heat conduction and thermal stresses of a hollow cylinder with inhomogeneous material properties and internal heat generation. All the material properties except Poisson’s ratio and density are assumed to be given by a simple power law in axial direction. We have obtained the solution of the two dimensional heat conduction equation in the transient state in terms of Bessel’s and trigonometric functions. The influence of inhomogeneity on the thermal and mechanical behavior is examined. Numerical computations are carried out for both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous cylinders and are represented graphically
Thermal stresses in functionally graded hollow sphere due to non-uniform internal heat generation
In this article, the thermal stresses in a hollow thick sphere of functionally graded material subjected to non-uniform internal heat generation are obtained as a function of radius to an exact solution by using the theory of elasticity. Material properties and heat generation are assumed as a function of radius of sphere and Poisson’s ratio as constant. The distribution of thermal stresses for different values of the powers of the module of elasticity and varying power law index of heat generation is studied. The results are illustrated numerically and graphically
Thermal stress analysis in a functionally graded hollow elliptic-cylinder subjected to uniform temperature distribution
In this paper, an analytical method of a thermoelastic problem for a medium with functionally graded material properties is developed in a theoretical manner for the elliptic-cylindrical coordinate system under the assumption that the material properties except for Poisson’s ratio and density are assumed to vary arbitrarily with the exponential law in the radial direction. An attempt has been made to reconsider the fundamental system of equations for functionally graded solids in a two-dimensional state under thermal and mechanical loads. The general solution of displacement formulation is obtained by the introduction of appropriate transformation and carried out the analysis by taking into account the variation of inhomogeneity parameters. Furthermore, the aforementioned problem degenerated into the problem of the circular region by applying limiting conditions, and the results are validated. Numerical computations are carried out for ceramic-metal-based functionally graded material, in which zirconia is selected as ceramic and aluminium as metal and are represented graphically
Cyclic mutually unbiased bases, Fibonacci polynomials and Wiedemann's conjecture
We relate the construction of a complete set of cyclic mutually unbiased
bases, i. e., mutually unbiased bases generated by a single unitary operator,
in power-of-two dimensions to the problem of finding a symmetric matrix over
F_2 with an irreducible characteristic polynomial that has a given Fibonacci
index. For dimensions of the form 2^(2^k) we present a solution that shows an
analogy to an open conjecture of Wiedemann in finite field theory. Finally, we
discuss the equivalence of mutually unbiased bases.Comment: 11 pages, added chapter on equivalenc
Inverse Heat Conduction Problem in a Semi-Infinite Cylinder and its Thermal Stresses by Quasi-Static Approach
The present paper deals with the determination of unknown temperature and thermal stresses on the curved surface of a semi-infinite circular cylinder defined as 0 ≤ r ≤ a , 0 ≤ z ≤ ∞. The circular cylinder is subjected to an arbitrary known temperature under unsteady state condition. Initially, the cylinder is at zero temperature and temperature at the lower surface is held fixed at zero. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by using the integral transform method. The results are obtained in series form in terms of Bessel’s functions. A mathematical model has been constructed for aluminum material and illustrates the results graphically

This paper concerns the inverse heat conduction problem in a semi-infinite thin circular plate subjected to an arbitrary known temperature under unsteady condition and the behavior of thermal deflection has been discussed on the outer curved surface with the help of mathematical modeling.
