This paper is concerned with the coupled thermo-mechanical stress analysis of functionally graded (FG) gas turbine rotor shaft system. Gas turbine shaft may expose in high temperature environments which demands to use functionally graded materials (FGMs). The aim of the present work is to study the stresses developed in the FG turbine shaft due to temperature variations and mechanical loading due to unbalance masses. For the present analysis aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and stainless steel (SUS304) are taken as shaft materials, power law gradation is used for the determination of FG material properties of the turbine shaft. Three nodded Timoshenko beam element with six degree of freedom (DOF) per node is considered for the finite element modelling of FG shaft. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used with rotary inertia, strain and kinetic energy. Solution for governing equation of motion is obtained by the Hamilton principle. Complete MATLAB code has been developed for thermosmechanical stress analysis. Comparative study between steel shaft and FG shaft have been carried out. Normal stress (σxx) on plane perpendicular to axial direction, shear stress (τxr) on plane perpendicular to axial direction in radial direction and shear stress (τxθ) on plane perpendicular to axial direction in circumferential direction are obtained against time and along radius of shaft. Also these stresses are obtained for different parameters like power law indexes and speed of rotation of shaft.

In thermal environment, vibration behavior of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) plates is investigated, and the materials are developed with mixing ceramic and metal. Present study is based on the first-order shear deformation theory of plate. Then, mixture methods such as Power law (P-) and Sigmoid (S-) models are chosen. According to a volume fraction, the material properties are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction and to be temperature dependent properties. Further, thermal effects are considered as uniform temperature rise and one dimensional heat transfer. For the structure analysis, FEM is used to obtain the natural frequencies based on the virtual work principle.

Functionally graded square and rectangular plates of different thicknesses placed on the elastic foundation modeled according to the Winkler-Pasternak theory have been studied. The thermal and mechanical characteristics, apart from Poisson’s ratio, are considered to continuously differ through the thickness of the studied material as stated in a power-law distribution. A mathematical model of functionally graded plate which include interaction with elastic foundation is defined. The equilibrium and stability equations are derived using high order shear deformation theory that comprises various kinds of shape function and the von Karman nonlinearity. A new analytically integrable shape function has been introduced. Hamilton’s principle has been applied with the purpose of acquiring the equations of motion. An analytical method for identifying both natural frequencies and critical buckling temperature for cases of linear and nonlinear temperature change through the plate thickness has been established. In order to verify the derived theoretical results on numerical examples, an original program code has been implemented within software MATLAB. Critical buckling temperature and natural frequencies findings are shown below. Previous scientific research and papers confirms that presented both the theoretical formulation and the numerical results are accurate. The comparison has been made between newly established findings based on introduced shape function and the old findings that include 13 different shape functions available in previously published articles. The final part of the research provides analysis and conclusions related to the impact of the power-law index, foundation stiffness, and temperature gradient on critical buckling temperature and natural frequencies of the functionally graded plates.

In this paper, higher order closed-formed analytical solutions for the buckling analysis of functionally graded sandwich rectangular plates are obtained using a unified shear deformation theory. Three-layered sandwich plates with functionally graded skins on top and bottom; and isotropic core in the middle are considered for the study. The material properties of skins are varied through the thickness according to the power-law distribution. Two types of sandwich plates (hardcore and softcore) are considered for the detail numerical study. A unified shear deformation theory developed in the present study uses polynomial and non-polynomial-type shape functions in terms of thickness coordinate to account for the effect of shear deformation. In the present theory, the in-plane displacements consider the combined effect of bending rotation and shear rotation. The parabolic shear deformation theory of Reddy and the first-order shear deformation theory of Mindlin are the particular cases of the present unified formulation. The governing differential equations are evaluated from the principle of virtual work. Closed-formed analytical solutions are obtained by using the Navier’s technique. The non-dimensional critical buckling load factors are obtained for various power-law coefficients, aspect ratios and skin-core-skin thickness ratios.

In this study, a formulation for the free vibration and buckling of cylindrical shells made of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to combined static and periodic axial loadings are presented. The properties are temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to a volume fraction power law distribution. The analysis is based on two different methods of first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) considering the transverse shear strains and the rotary inertias and the classical shell theory (CST). The results obtained show that the effect of transverse shear and rotary inertias on vibration and buckling of functionally graded cylindrical shells is dependent on the material composition, the temperature environment, the amplitude of static load, the deformation mode, and the shell geometry parameters.
