| Summary: | In this research paper, displacement, stresses and strains are presented for rotating FGM disk with variable thickness by using finite element method (FEM). Thermo-elastic material properties and thickness of FGM disk continuously vary as exponential and power law function in radial direction along radius of disk. The value of Poisson's ratio is taken as constant. The problem of thermo-elasticity is converted into second order governing differential equation in terms of radial coordinate. This conversion is based upon equilibrium equation for disk and stress-strain relationship. The influence of variable thickness, angular velocity and functionally graded materials is discussed on thermo-elastic characteristics of rotating disk for exponential variation of material properties. Further, these thermo-elastic characteristics of disk are plotted for various values of non-homogeneity parameter under power law distribution of material properties. Thus, the investigations done in this research paper may be useful for industrial area in construction an appropriate FGM disk by controlling above mentioned parameters. |
