Axisymmetric thermoelastic analysis in a finite hollow cylinder due to nonuniform thermal shock

An exact solution is obtained for two-dimensional elastodynamic analysis of finite hollow cylinder excited by nonuniform thermal shock. The cylinder is simply-supported at the two ends and is traction-free at the internal and external cylindrical surfaces. Based on the uncoupled linear thermoelastic theory, the solution is developed by employing the expansion of trigonometric series method and the separation of variables technique. The obtained solution contains two infinite series. One is trigonometric function and the other is Bessel function. The coefficients in the series solution are determined by the orthogonal properties of the functions. Numerical experiments are presented for describing the thermal dynamic behaviors of finite hollow cylinder.
