Abstract

In this paper, thermo-elastic stress analysis of rotating variable thickness annular disk made of polar orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) is presented. Elasticity modulus, density and thick-ness of the disk are assumed to vary radially according to a power law function. The material of the disk is assumed to be temperature dependent and different temperature distributions are assumed for variation of the temperature in radial direction. Radial stress and radial deformation of the disk with Clamped- Free (C-F) and Free-Free (F-F) boundary conditions are obtained using the numerical finite difference (FD) method. It is concluded that, by increasing the temperature variation, the radial stress and displacement increase. It is also observed that the radial stress in the rotating FG disk is more than the radial stress in rotating homogeneous disk and by increasing the FG index, the location of maximum stress in the disk shifts toward the outer surface. Also, the effects of temperature variation along the radius and orthotropy of the material on the radial stress and deformation are evaluated and concluded that their effect are significant. The results are compared with the available results in the literature and the good agreement between the present results and results in the literature shows the accuracy of FD method in thermo-elastic analysis of rotating FG orthotropic disk of variable thickness.

1. Introduction

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are a type of composite materials that attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their thermo-mechanical properties. The concept of FGM was first considered in Japan in 1984 during a space plane project, where a combination of materials used would serve the purpose of a thermal barrier capable of withstanding a surface temperature of 2000 K and a temperature gradient of 1000 k across a 10 mm section [1]. FG material are being used in different engineering applications such in aerospace, medicine, defense, energy and opto-electronics [2].

Rotating functionally graded disks find their application in marine structures, aerospace structures, flywheels and internal combustion engines. In many of these applications, the structure is under thermal and mechanical loading at the same time and the material should be capable of operating under such severe loading [3, 4].

The mechanical strength of the reinforced and anisotropic disks is much higher than that of the isotropic steel disks of the same geometry; in addition, the weight of the former is several times lower [5]. Also, the literature review indicates that even though the elastic stress analysis of rotating isotropic disk has been carried out by many researchers in different problems, the disk made of anisotropic material has not been studied in such detail.

Asghari et al. [6] presented a 3D semi-analytical solution for obtaining elasticity response of the rotating FG disks. They investigated effect of various parameters on the stresses and radial deformation. Bayat et al. [7] analyzed the elastic response of rotating annular and solid FG disks with variable thickness. They solved the equation of motion for annular disk using both a semi-analytical method and analytical method. They assumed two mechanical properties gradation for the disks and investigated effect of various mechanical and geometric properties on the stresses and radial displacement of the rotating FG disk. Zafarmand et al. [8] presented the solution of rotating FG circular thick disks with variable thickness. They investigated the displacements and stresses for four different thickness profiles. They assumed that the elasticity modulus and density vary radially by a power-law function. Peng et al. [9] analyzed the elastic stress in rotating sandwich solid FG disk with three-layer composites. They investigated effect of FG index and rotational speed on the stresses and displacement. Eraslan et al. [10] presented a closed-form solution for rotating homogeneous annular disks having nonlinear parabolic thickness profiles. They used Tresca yield criteria with the assumption of linear hardening material for elastic-plastic analysis. Callioglu et al. [11] studied elastic-plastic response of rotating isotropic FG disks. They computed the stresses in the disks developing an analytical solution and compared the results to those of FEM. They considered yielding behavior of the material to be non-work hardening. Callioglu et al. [12] analyzed the stress of rotating FG disks, numerically and analytically. They used Ansys software to analyze the stress using finite element method and solved the equations by exact method. They investigated the effects of the graded index on the stresses and displacements. Gutzwiller et al. [13, 14] developed a computer software for automated design optimization of rotating bladed disks of variable thickness. They used finite difference method to find the stresses and displacements. Shahriari et al. [15] applied differential quadrature method to investigate the vibration of rotating bladed disk used in gas turbine engines. They considered the disk to be flexible with the same material as the real gas turbine disk and the blades of the bladed disks to be rigid.

Nie et al. [16] investigated the thermomechanical response of rotating FG disks of variable thickness. They solved the ordinary differential equation analytically and numerically through the differential quadrature method. Tutunka et al. [17] investigated the effect of anisotropy of polar orthotropic rotating disks in presence of instability. They concluded that inclusion of the displacement in the centrifugal force results in instability at certain rotational speeds. Peng et al. [18] studied the elastic problem of rotating polar orthotropic FG disk. They investigated effect of orthotropy and FG gradient on the radial and hoop stress distribution. Callioglu et al. [19] analyzed elastic-plastic response of rotating curvilinearly orthotropic disks. They analytically obtained the elastic, plastic and residual stress components at different rotating speeds. Nie et al. [20] studied material tailoring in three types of composites, namely polar orthotropic material, fiber-reinforced composite with fibers in concentric circles and fiber-reinforced composite with fibers aligned along helices.

In high temperature applications, the mechanical structure is under thermal loading in addition to the other mechanical loads. For such applications, FGMs can be used efficiently, due to their high strength under thermal loading [21, 22]. Carrera et al. [23] proposed a 1D FE method for 3D thermo- elastic analysis of rotating disk. They considered four types of temperature variation along the radius of the disk and validated their results through comparing them with those of finite difference method and analytical method. Kouchakzadeh et al. [24] and Entezari et al. [25] presented analytical solutions for the problem of generalized coupled thermo-elasticity in rotating disks subjected to mechanical and thermal shock loads. Callioglu et al. [26] introduced a closed--form solution for rotating orthotropic disc under thermal loading. They considered the temperature distribution to vary parabolically from inner surface to outer surface along the radial sections. They investigated the effect of functionally grading properties of the material of the performance of the cylinder as a sensor or actuator and concluded that a better performance can be achieved using FG material.

Thermo-elastic analysis of rotating FG isotropic circular and annular disk was studied in [27-31]. Different numerical and analytical methods were employed in these papers but none of these references worked on elastic problem of anisotropic disks. Gong et al. [32] applied finite volume method to study the thermo-elastic problem of rotating three-dimensional FG disk.

Reviewing the above literature review and the other possible available papers in the literature, it is clear that the stress analysis of rotating FG orthotropic disk under thermal loading has not been investigated yet. In this paper, finite difference method is used for solving the equations of motion of rotating FG polar orthotropic annular plates with variable thickness under thermal loading. The thermal loading is defined by temperature distribution T=T(r) and different temperature distributions along the radius are considered in the numerical analyses. The plane stress condition is assumed for the rotating disk and the variation of the Young’s modulus, density and thickness of the disk in the radial direction are assumed to be graded by power-law function. The boundary conditions of the disk are assumed to be Clamped-Free (C-F) and Free-Free (F-F). The effects of the graded index, temperature variation in the radial direction and orthotropy of the material on the radial stress and displacement are evaluated. After comparing the results with the results in the literature, the accuracy of the numerical analyses is confirmed.

2. Governing equations

An annular plate with outer radius a, inner radius b, thickness t and outer surface thickness h0, which is rotating with angular velocity ω~ is shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1Rotating annular plate

Rotating annular plate

The thickness t can be variable in the radial direction. Considering the variation of the thickness, the plane stress equilibrium equation in the radial direction is:

1
ddr(trσr)-tσθ+tρω~2r2=0,

where σr is the radial stress, σθ is the circumferential stress, t is the thickness, ω~ is rotating speed of the plate and ρ stands for the density. Considering the axisymmetric condition for the plate (/θ=0), the Kirshoff strain-displacement relations become [33]:

2
εr=dudr, εθ=ur, γrθ=0,

where εr is the radial strain, εθ is the tangential strain and γrθ is the shear strain in the plane of the plate and u is radial displacement. The stress tensor has both the mechanical and thermal components due to existence of the thermal loading in the problem:

3
σrσθσzτrzτθzτrθ=σrmσθmσzmτrzmτθzmτrθm+σrTσθTσzTτrzTτθzTτrθT.

The elastic stiffness tensor relating the stresses to the strains in its most general form is shown below [13]:

4
C=C11C12C13000C21C22C23000C31C32C33000000C44000000C55000000C66.

The stress-strain relation can be written as the following [34]:

5
σm=Cε, σT=Cβ.

Considering the plane stress assumption in the plate, the stress components in out of plane direction are equal to zero:

6
σz=τrz=τθz=0.

Considering σz=0, the expressions for the thermal and mechanical strain components in out of plane direction is obtained. The remaining non-zero strain components are as the following:

7
εrεθεz=dudrur-C13C33dudr-C23C33ur, βrβθβz=αrαθ-C13C33αr-C23C33αθ,

where βr, βθ and βz are respectively radial, tangential and out of plane strains due to thermal loading. Combining Eqs. (4), (5) and (6), the stresses in the rotating disk in a general form is found as:

8
σr=Adudr+Bur-AαrT-BαθT, σθ=Bdudr+Dur-BαrT-DαθT,

where A, B, C are the stiffness terms [13]:

9
A=C11C33-C132C33, B=C12C33-C13C23C33, D=C22C33-C232C33.

In orthotropic materials, the elasticity moduli in radial and tangential direction and the Poisson ratios are related to each other by the following Equation [18, 35]:

10
υθr(r)Eθ(r)=υrθ(r)Er(r)=α,

where Er and Eθ are radial and tangential elasticity modulus, respectively. Considering the above Equation for υθr and υrθ and the stress-strain elasticity tensor for transversely isotropic materials, the stiffness constants for the transversely isotropic material are [13]:

11
C11=C33=ErEθ-Erυθr2Eθ-2Erυθr2, C22=Eθ2Eθ-2Erυθr2,
C12=C23=ErEθυθrEθ-2Erυθr2, C13=Er2υθr2Eθ-2Erυθr2.

Substituting Eq. (8) into Eq. (1), the equilibrium equation is obtained in terms of radial displacement and the obtained equation should be solved considering the relevant boundary conditions. The following equations present the boundary equations of the problem.

Clamped-Free (C-F):

12
u=0, r=b,σr=0, r=a.

Free-Free (F-F):

13
σr=0, r=b,σr=0, r=a.

3. Finite difference method

In the finite difference method, the disk is discretized along (N) radial stations. The method consists of developing an expression for the radial stress, employing three consecutive points [13]. At the end of the process, there are N-2 equations for the inner points and two known radial stress boundary equations for the inner and outer surface of the disk. The radial displacements are the unknown variables in the final N×N matrix Eq. (14). In this paper, the stiffness terms (A, B, C, D), thickness (t), stresses (σ) and displacement (u) are the functions of the radius (r). Fig. 2 shows the numbering Scheme used in the method.

Fig. 2Numbering scheme in radial direction

Numbering scheme in radial direction

The radial stress can be estimated over intervals [1-2] and [0-1] from Eq. (5):

14
σ-r10=σr0+σr12=A-10u1-u0r1-r0+B-10u-10r-10-A-10α-r10T-10-B-10α-θ10T-10,
15
σ-r21=σr1+σr22=A-21u2-u1r2-r1+B-21u-21r-21-A-21α-r21T-21-B-21α-θ21T-21,

in which:

16
A-pq=Ap+Aq2, B-pq=Bp+Bq2, u-pq=up+uq2, r-pq=rp+rq2,

where p= 2, 1 and q= 1, 0. Similar expressions can be written for σθ.

Integrating Eq. (1), and the second equation of Eq. (8) over intervals [1-2] and [0-1] and making use of the above expressions, we arrive at:

17
(trσr)2-(trσr)1=t-21 σ-θ21 (r2-r1)-t-21ρ-21 ω~2r23-r133,
18
(trσr)1-(trσr)0=t-10 σ-θ10 (r1-r0)-t-10ρ-10 ω~2r13-r033,
19
σ-θ21r2-r1=B-21u2-u1+C-21u-21lnr2r1,
20
σ-θ10r1-r0=B-10u1-u0+C-10u-10lnr1r0,

where:

21
t-pq=tp+tq2, ρ-pq=ρp+ρq2, p=2,1, q=1,0.

Now, expressions can be developed for σr1 in intervals [1-2] and [0-1]. Omitting σr2 from Eq. (14) and Eq. (17) and substituting Eq. (19) in the resulted equation, the following expression for σr1 in terms of known quantities in the interval [1-2] is derived:

22
σr1=2t2r2t2r2+t1r1A-21u2-u1r2-r1+B-21u-21r-21+t-21t2r2+t1r1-B-21(u2-u1)-C-21u-21lnr2r1+ρ-21ω~2r23-r133.

Also, omitting σr0 from Eq. (15) and Eq. (18) and substituting Eq. (20), the following relation for σr1 in the interval [0-1] is found:

23
σr1=2 t0r0t1r1+t0roA-10u1-u0r1-ro+B-10u-10r-10+t-10t1r1+t0roB-10(u1-u0)+C-10u-10lnr1r0-ρ-10ω~2r13-r033.

Equating the right side of Eq. (22) and (23) and substituting ui+1, ui, ui-1, an equation with unknowns ui+1, ui, ui-1 is obtained. The following equation leads to a system of (N-2) equations. The two remaining equations come from the discretization of the boundary conditions [13]:

24
2t0r0t0r0+t1r1A-10r1-r0-B-102r-10+t-10t0r0+t1r1B-10-C-102lnr1r0ui-1
+2t2r2t2r2+t1r1-A-21r2-r1+B-212r-21+t-21t2r1+t1r1B-21-C-212lnr2r1
-2torotoro+t1r1A-10r1-ro+B-102r-10-t-10t0r0+t1r1B-10+C-102lnr1r0ui
+2t2r2t2r2+t1r1A-21r2-r1+B-212r-21-t-21t2r2+t1r1B-21+C-212lnr2r1ui+1
=t-21ρ-21ω~2t1r1+t2r2r23-r133-t-10ρ-10ω~2t0r0+t1r1r13-r033.

In order to obtain the two remaining equations, the boundary conditions should be discretized. For the clamped boundary condition in inner or outer surfaces, the radial displacement in boundary surfaces should be zero and for the free boundary condition, the radial stress should be zero.

Applying the displacements of nodal points (N-2), (N-1), (N) and the displacements of nodal points 1, 2, 3 to Eq. (8), the discrete form of the boundary equations are as follows:

Clamped-Free (C-F):

25
r=b, u1=0,
26
r=a, σr=AN3uN-4uN-1+uN-2rN-rN-2+BNuNrN=0
ANrN-rN-2uN-2+-4ANrN-rN-2uN-1+BNrN+3ANrN-rN-2uN=0.

Free-Free (F-F):

27
r=b, σr=A14u2-u3-3u1r3-r1+B1u1r1=0
B1r1-3A1r3-r1u1+4A1r3-r1u2+-A1r3-r1u3=0,
28
r=a, ANrN-rN-2uN-2+-4ANrN-rN-2uN-1+BNrN+3ANrN-rN-2uN=0.

The discussed discretization leads to system of N linear equations with the radial displacement (u) as the unknown variable. Once the radial displacement in nodal points is calculated, the radial stress can be found using Eq. (22) or Eq. (23).

4. FGM properties and thickness profile

For the numerical analyses, the disk is made of FG material that is pure ceramic in the inner surface and pure metal in the outer surface of the disk. The mechanical properties of the disk are assumed to vary by the following Equations in the radial direction:

29
ρr=ρc+r-ba-bnρm-ρc,
30
Err=Erc+r-ba-bnErm-Erc,
31
αrr=αrc+r-ba-bnαrm-αrc,

where ρc, Erc and αrc are the density of the ceramic (outer surface), radial elasticity modulus of the ceramic and thermal expansion in radial direction of the ceramic, respectively and ρm, Erm and αrm are the corresponding material properties of metal and n is FG graded index. Considering the orthotropy of the material, the mechanical properties in the radial and tangential directions are not equal and are related to each other by the following Equation [18, 35]:

32
Eθ=αEr,
33
αθ=βαr.

The thickness of the disk is assumed to vary by a power-law function along the radial direction:

34
t=h0ram1,

where t is the thickness, h0 is thickness in the outer radius and m1 is thickness power index.

4.1. Thermal properties and thermal loading

The mechanical properties of ceramic and metal in the surfaces of the disc are considered temperature dependent. Temperature dependency of the material of the outer and inner surfaces is governed by Eq. (35) [36]:

35
P=X0X-1T-1+X1T+X2T2+X3T3+1,

where X0, X-1, X1, X2 and X3 are tabulated in Table 1 [36] and P can be elastic modulus, density and thermal expansion. The material properties of the ceramic and metal depend on the temperature by Eq. (35) and the disc is subjected to thermal load featuring a steady state temperature distribution T=T(r) along it’s radius expressed by Eq. (36):

36
Tr=Tc+r-ba-bmtΔT,

where Tc is temperature of the ceramic, ΔT is the temperature change from the inner surface to the outer surface and mt is temperature variation power index. Different temperature distributions are considered in the analyses by changing the parameter mt.

5. Validation

Prior to presentation of numerical results for thermo-elastic analysis of rotating FG orthotropic disk, the accuracy of the method should be verified. Two case studies are considered here for validation of the results. In Case (a), the stress analysis results for rotating FG isotropic disk are compared with those reported in [12]. The material properties of the disk are considered the same as the material and geometric properties of the disk in [12]. In Case (b), the results of the stress analysis of rotating FG polar orthotropic disk are compared with data in [18]. The material and geometric properties also in this case are considered the same as material and geometric properties considered in [18]. In both these cases, the thickness of the disk is taken to be uniform and the material gradation functions are power-law functions as the following. It should be mentioned that the material gradation functions for validation are different from the functions used in numerical analyses (Section 4):

37
Er=Er0ran, Eθ=Eθ0ran, ρ=ρ0ran,

where n is graded index and a is the outer radius. In case (a), the material is considered to be isotropic, therefore, Er and Eθ are equal to each other in case (a).

5.1. Case (a) validation

In this case, the disk is isotropic, and the radial and tangential elasticity modulus are equal. The disk is not under thermal loading and the material parameters are temperature independent. The material for the outer surface of the disc is aluminum alloy (7075-T6) with Young modulus of Er0=Eθ0=E0= 72 GPa (in Eq. (37)) and the mass density of ρ0= 2800 kg/m3 and the thickness of the disk is uniform. The Young modulus and density of the disc vary in the radial direction in accordance with Eq. (37). The rotating speed of the disk is 15000 rpm and the boundary conditions of the disk is Free-Free (F-F). The number of points in the grid in FD method for all the analyses is 100 points. The results of the displacement and stresses do not change considerably when the number of grid points increases to more than this number of points and convergence of the results are guaranteed. The radial stress and radial displacement of the disk are obtained using FD method and the results are compared with the results in [12]. Figs. 3 shows the comparison of the results for the radial stress and radial displacement. Fig. 3(a) shows the variation of radial stress (σr) in the radial direction with (F-F) boundary conditions for n= 0, n= 0.5, n= 1. As it is observed from Fig. 3, there is a good agreement between the present results and those of [12], in which the solution is obtained by numerical and analytical methods.

5.2. Case (b) validation

In this case, the dimensionless radial stress and displacement of the rotating FG polar orthotropic disc with uniform thickness and with F-F boundary conditions are obtained using FD method and the results are compared with the results reported in [18]. The material properties considered in this case are presented in Table 2 [18].

The dimensionless radial stress and radial displacement are defined as the following in this case:

39
u-r=Etourρoω2a3,

where Eto is the tangential elasticity modulus in the outer surface, σ-r is dimensionless radial stress and u-r is dimensionless radial displacement. The dimensionless radial stress and displacement are obtained using FD method in this paper and the results are compared with the numerical and exact results [18] in Table 3. As one may observe, there is a very good agreement between the results which shows the accuracy of the present method.

6. Numerical results and discussion

For the numerical analysis, Eqs. (29)-(31) are used for mechanical properties variation along the radius of the disk and Eqs. (32)-(33) are used for orthotropic properties of the disk. Eq. (34) is also used for considering the thickness variation of the disk. Fig. 4 shows temperature distributions along the radius with different thermal parameters mt based on Eq. (36). It should be mentioned that the inner surface is pure ceramic and outer surface is pure metal.

Fig. 4Temperature variation along the radius

Temperature variation along the radius

The dimensionless radial stress and radial displacement are defined:

40
σ-r=σrρmω2a2,
41
u-r=Etmurρmω2a3,

where ρm is density of the metal (outer surface) and Etm is tangential elasticity modulus of the metal. The dimensionless radial stress and displacement are obtained using the FD method and the effects of different thermo-mechanical properties on the stress and displacement are evaluated.

The rotating speed of the disk is 1000 rad/s and the inner/outer radius ratio b/a is 0.4 in all the numerical analyses. Fig. 5 shows the variation of dimensionless radial stress and radial displacement (Eq. (40) and (41)) for the rotating polar orthotropic FG disk with variable thickness for different values of temperature variation between the inner and outer surfaces (ΔT in Eq. (36)). The boundary conditions are C-F, the thickness variation and the temperature variation in the radial direction are linear (m1=1, m1=1). Fig 6 shows the same figure but for F-F boundary conditions. The temperature of ceramic in the inner surface is Tc= 300 K and the metal temperature depends on the value of temperature change between the inner and outer surfaces. As shown in Figs. 5-6, increasing the temperature variation, the radial stress and displacement start to grow. Also, it can be observed from Fig. 6 that at higher temperature variations in F-F disk, the location of maximum radial stress in the disk shifts toward the inner surface. It is concluded that the variation of the temperature along the radius can cause an increase in the radial stress and displacement in both the C-F and F-F boundary conditions.

Fig. 7 shows the radial stress and displacement of the rotating orthotropic FG disk for different temperature variations along the radius with C-F and F-F boundary conditions. The temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces are 200 K where the different temperature variations in radial direction are plotted in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 7, increasing the temperature variation power index (mt) in rotating C-F disk, the radial stress and displacement decrease. The stress in the inner surface and the displacement in the outer surface for larger values of mt are lower. It is also observed in Fig. 7 that the radial stress increases when the temperature is varied along the radius (mt0) compared to when the temperature is held constant in the radial direction (mt=0). In contrary, the radial displacement in F-F rotating disk decrease when the temperature is varied in the radial direction and by increasing mt, the radial displacement decrease.

The effect of FG index on the radial stress and displacement of the rotating FG orthotropic uniform disk under thermal loading with F-F boundary conditions can be observed in Fig. 8. It is shown that the radial stress and radial displacement in the rotating FG disk is decreased by the increase in FG index. It is also observed that the rate of variation of the radial displacement from the inner surface to the outer surface decrease significantly by increasing the FG index.

In order to investigate the effect of orthotropy on the stress and displacement of the rotating FG disk, the influence of parameters α and β on the results is evaluated. The material with α=β= 1 denotes an isotropic material. Fig. 9 shows the radial stress and displacement of the rotating FG orthotropic uniform disk under thermal loading with F-F boundary conditions for different values of orthotropic parameter α. The parameter β is equal to 0.5, and the temperature variation in the disk is linear (mt=1). As observed from Fig. 9, for lower values of parameter α, the radial stress and displacement increase significantly. It should be mentioned that the same trend is observed for the disk with C-F boundary conditions, but the relevant results are not presented here for the sake of briefness. Fig. 10 shows the results similar to the results of Fig. 9, but for different values of orthotropic parameter β. The same trend is observed for the variation of β. It should be again mentioned that the same trend is observed for the C-F boundary condition but its results are not presented for the brevity.

The effects of rotating speed on the stress in the rotating disk is also presented in Fig. 11. In Fig. 11, the variation of radial stress of a rotating FG disk for different values of rotating speed is shown. As it is expected, by increasing the rotating speed of the rotating FG disk, the stress in the disk is increased. It should be mentioned that in this figure, the material of the disk is considered isotropic but the result for orthotropic material was also obtained and the same trend was concluded.

7. Conclusions

In this paper, the numerical finite difference method was employed to analyze the thermo-elastic stress and deformation of rotating FG polar orthotropic disk with variable thickness. The material of the disk was considered temperature dependent and different temperature variations along the radius of the disk were considered for the analyses. Radial stress and radial displacement of the rotating disk with C-F and F-F boundary conditions were calculated using the FD method. The effects of various mechanical properties on the radial stress and radial deflection were investigated. The following results are the summary of the most important results of the paper.

1) It was concluded that the variation of the temperature along the radius can cause the increase in radial stress and displacement in rotating FG orthotropic disk.

2) The radial stress increases when the temperature is varied along the radius (mt0) compared to when the temperature is kept constant in the radial direction (mt=0).

3) The rate of variation of the radial displacement from the inner surface to the outer surface decrease significantly through increasing the FG index.

4) The orthotropy of the material of the disk has a significant effect on the displacement and stress distribution of the disk. It is concluded that the desired stress and displacement in the rotating FG disk can be obtained with manufacturing orthotropic disks.
