The dynamical problem for thermal stresses in an infinite isotropic elastic cylinder of radius a with its axis along the z-axis, subject to fixed boundary conditions is studied. The Fourier heat conduction equation has been solved applying the Fourier transform and the theory of complex variable. The thermoelastic equation of motion has been separated into two wave equations which can be solved separately. The temperature, the displacement and the stress components have been obtained in analytical form as series involving Bessel function of first kind and of order zero. |
