Even and Uneven Porosities on Rotating Functionally Graded ‎Variable-thickness Annular Disks with Magneto-electro-thermo-‎mechanical Loadings

Abstract

This paper investigates the porosity effect on rotating functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) variable-thickness annular disk. Even and uneven porosity distributions for the disk are approximated. The porous annular disk is subjected to the influence of electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical loadings. Material coefficients are graded and described as a power law in the radial direction of the annular rotating disk. The resulting differential equation with boundary conditions is solved using the semi-analytical technique. Two cases are studied for the porous annular disk, circular disk, and mounted disk. The effectiveness of the porosity factor and grading index on the temperature, stresses, and displacement are reported. Comparisons between non-porous and porous annular disks for even and uneven porosity are executed and discussed. The obtained results are presented to conclude the important role of porosity on the rotating variable-thickness annular disk for the purpose of engineering mechanical design.
