Abstract

In this paper, an analytical solution is developed to determine deformations and stresses in circular disks made of functionally graded materials subjected to internal and/or external pressure. Taking mechanical properties of the materials of circular disks to be linear variations, the governing equation is derived from basic equations of axisymmetric, plane stress problems in elasticity. By transforming the governing equation into a hypergeometric equation, an accurate analytical solution of deformations and stresses in circular disks is obtained. The comparison with the numerical solution indicates that both approaches give very agreeable results, indicating correctness of the proposed analytical solution. The obtained analytical solution is employed to determine the radial displacement and stresses in circular disks subjected to external pressure, internal pressure, and internal and external pressure, respectively. How the radius ratio of circular disks affects deformations and stresses is also investigated.
