Thermoelastic stresses alleviation for two-dimensional functionally graded cylinders under asymmetric loading

The goal of this research study is to examine, through the finite element method, efficiency using two-dimensional (2D) functionally graded materials (FGMs) in lowering elastic/thermoelastic stresses acting on cylinders. In 2D-FGMs, properties are assumed vary radial and tangential directions simultaneously, which rarely investigated literature. cylinder subjected asymmetric inner normal traction with/without thermal loading. For considered case studies, results revealed that 2D-FGMs beneficial compared conventional grading. considering mechanical load only, stress declines by almost 39%. Similarly, accounting for thermomechanical resulted radical falls axial around 63% 61%, respectively. Accordingly, von Mises dramatically with different values allowing safe escalation, enhancing cylinder’s durability. Finally, no certain used function’s parameters preferred have maximum reduction under all working circumstances, necessitates performing optimization.
