Abstract
The elastic analysis of thick-walled spheres made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is considered to be one of the most important areas in many engineering designs. This paper presents the stresses and displacement fields in an FGM thick-walled sphere under constant interior and exterior pressure. The investigation was carried out using analytical and numerical methods. Exact and finite element (FE) models of the pressurized spherical vessel were created, assuming and implementing continuous changing of Young modulus along the radial direction. It is considered that the elastic modulus of the FGMs varies with thickness according to the nonlinear generalized formula. For a pressurized FGM sphere, the analytical solutions for displacement and stress distribution were developed and demonstrated in the radial direction. Finally, the analytical results are compared to the results from the FE analysis.
期刊介绍:
Archive of Applied Mechanics serves as a platform to communicate original research of scholarly value in all branches of theoretical and applied mechanics, i.e., in solid and fluid mechanics, dynamics and vibrations. It focuses on continuum mechanics in general, structural mechanics, biomechanics, micro- and nano-mechanics as well as hydrodynamics. In particular, the following topics are emphasised: thermodynamics of materials, material modeling, multi-physics, mechanical properties of materials, homogenisation, phase transitions, fracture and damage mechanics, vibration, wave propagation experimental mechanics as well as machine learning techniques in the context of applied mechanics.
