Thermoelastic Analysis on A Circular Plate Subjected to Annular Heat Supply

Pravin P. Bhad, Dr. Vinod Varghese

Abstract :

Closed form expressions are developed for determining the quasi–static thermal stress in a circular plate with boundary conditions of radiation type subjected to annular heat flux, the curved surfaces being assumed insulated. It is assumed that temperature field is axisymmetric along the circumference of a circle over the upper face with zero temperature on the lower face. Numerical estimates for heating medium are obtained in terms of Bessel’s functions and depicted graphically.
