A Study on the Thermoelastic issues of a Steady- State Thin Annular Disc.

Abstract

In this work, steady-state thermoelastic problems in a thin annular disc are studied. The coupling of mechanical and thermal effects in a material is known as thermoelasticity, and it is an important property in many engineering applications, including the construction of rotating parts like discs. This work aims to investigate the behavior of a thin annular disc under mechanical and thermal loads, with particular attention to the steady-state response. The analysis's findings provide crucial information on the thin annular disc's thermoelastic behavior. It is clear that the disc's internal temperature distribution significantly affects how the disc behaves mechanically. Over time, the structural integrity and performance of the disc may be impacted by the stresses and deformations caused by thermal gradients. Additionally, the investigation looks into how several factors, such material characteristics and disc geometry, affect the thermoelastic response. To sum up, this study offers important insights into the thermoelastic behavior of thin annular discs in steady-state circumstances.
