Thermal Deflection Of A Clamped Annular Disc Due To Heat Generation

Abstract

This paper deals with the determination of thermal deflection in an annular disc defined as  ;  due to internal heat generation within it. An annular disc is considered having arbitrary initial temperature and subjected to radiation type boundary conditions which are fixed at  and . The non homogeneous type boundary conditions are maintained at plane surfaces of the disc. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by using integral transform technique. The edge of an annular disc is fixed and clamped. The results are obtained in series form in terms of Bessel’s functions. As a special case, Aluminium metallic plate has been considered and the results for temperature distribution and thermal deflection have been computed numerically and are illustrated graphically.
