Nonlinear Thermal Stress Analysis of Functionally Graded Thick Cylinders and Spheres

Nonlinear thermal stress analysis in a functionally graded hollow thick cylinders and spheres under the effect of high temperatures and temperature differences is considered by taking into account the material properties of the body both temperature dependent and radially graded, except Poisson’s ratio which is taken to be constant for simplicity. These conditions result in nonlinear governing differential equation that is adopted to solve...
