Thermo-Magneto-Electro-Elastic Responses of Rotating Hollow Cylinders

Analytical solutions are obtained for multiphysical responses of a functionally graded, thermomagnetoelastic, rotating hollow cylinder as well as a homogeneous orthotropic thermo-magnetoelectroelastic cylinder. The cylinders are subjected to a combination of thermo-magneto-electro-mechanical loading. The material properties of the functionally graded hollow cylinder are assumed to obey a power law along the radial direction. The coupled differential equations are solved in an exact form using the successive decoupling method. Numerical results are displayed to clarify the effects of the temperature gradient, angular velocity, magneto-electro-mechanical boundary conditions, and non-homogeneity. Finally, the results are verified with those reported in the literature.
