This article presents the analysis of functionally graded thick hollow cylinders under dynamic load. The functionally graded cylinder is assumed to be made of many subcylinders. Each subcylinder is considered as an isotropic layer. Material’s properties in each layer are constant and functionally graded properties are resulted by suitable arrangement of layers in multilayer cylinder. The proper...

A curved spiral antenna above a finite hollow conducting cylinder is analyzed using the method of moments. The effects of cylinder length 2H and cylinder radius rcy on the radiation characteristics of the spiral are evaluated. As 2H increases, the cross-polarization component of the radiation field in the broadside direction decreases to a constant value (approximately 18 dB). When 2H is greate...

In this paper, a general solution for torsion of hollow cylinders made of functionally graded materials (FGM) was investigated. The problem was formulated in terms of Prandtl’s stress and, in general, the shear stress and angle of twist were derived. Variations in the material properties such as Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio might be arbitrary functions of the radial coordinate. Various m...

This paper deals with the determination of displacement function and thermal stresses of a finite length isotropic functionally graded hollow cylinder subjected to uniform temperature field. The solution of the governing thermoelastic equation is obtained, as suggested by Spencer et al. for anisotropic laminates.  Numerical calculations are also carried out for FGM (Functionally graded material...

In this paper, the natural frequencies of the radial vibrations of a hollow cylinder and hollow sphere with different boundary conditions under influences of rotation and non-homogeneity have been studied. The radial vibrations of orthotropic material as affected by the angular velocity are investigated on the basis of the linear theory of elasticity. The of elastodynamic equations have been so...

A finite different scheme as well as least-square method is presented for the magneto-thermo analysis of an infinite functionally graded hollow cylinder. The radial displacement, mechanical stresses and temperature as well as the electromagnetic stress are investigated along the radial direction of the cylinder. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a...

In this study, a set of self-consistent coupled-integral equations for the local magnetic flux and current distributions in a finite superconducting hollow cylinder under an axial magnetic field has been directly derived by using the Biot-Savart law within the framework of the critical-state model. The equations were first solved numerically in the three-dimensional space before obtaining the h...

A short review is presented of the cylinder problem as a vehicle for developments in the theory of linear viscoelastic stress analysis. This is followed by the solution of the problem of a compressible, hollow circular viscoelastic cylinder encased in and bonded to an elastic cylindrical shell. The analysis includes the effects of arbitrarily varying angular velocity and internal pressure, and ...
