%0 Journal Article %T ANALYSIS OF A FUNCTIONALLY GRADED THICK CYLINDRICAL VESSEL WITH RADIALLY VARYING PROPERTIES %A P NAYAK %A S C MONDAL %J International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology %D 2011 %I Engg Journals Publication %X This work aims at the determination of stresses from the general analytical solution of a functionally graded thick cylindrical vessel with the consideration that the properties of the material i.e. modulus of elasticity, thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity, vary with the power-law of radius and Poisson¡¯s ratioremains constant. On the basis of the third kind thermal boundary conditions with steady-state unidirectional radial heat conduction and general mechanical boundary conditions, it is shown that the equilibrium equation reduces to Navier equation. A study of the Tresca yield criterion is made to check for yielding. %K Functionally graded material %K third kind thermal boundary condition %K thermo-mechanical stress. %U http://www.ijest.info/docs/IJEST11-03-02-126.pdf
