Transversely isotropic thermoelastic thin circular plate with constant and periodically varying load and heat source

Abstract

The present research deals with the deformation in transversely isotropic thermoelastic (TIT) thin circular plate. Rotation effect is studied under thermally insulated as well as isothermal boundaries. The Laplace and Hankel transform techniques have been used to find the solution to the problem. The displacement components, conductive temperature distribution, and stress components with the radial distance are computed in the transformed domain and further calculated in the physical domain using numerical inversion techniques. The effects of rotation and two temperatures are represented graphically. Some specific cases are also figured out from the current research.
