Abstract

In this study, a thermal stress analysis is carried out analytically on an orthotropic aluminum metal–matrix composite hollow disc. A closed form solution is performed by using polynomials under some considerations. The temperature distribution is chosen to vary parabolically from inner surface to outer surface along the radial sections. The magnitude of the tangential stress component is the highest. It is compressive and tensile at the inner and outer points in the disc. A close approximation is obtained between the analytical and finite element solutions. The radial displacement is found analytically.
