Abstract: In this paper, the inverse
unsteady-state problem of thermoelastic deformation to determine the
temperature, displacement and stress functions on the upper plane surface in the
finite isotropic hollow cylinder of length ‘h’ occupying the space is studied by applying finite
Hankel-Laplace transform technique.
The
heat flux for a fixed value of is a known function of r
and t, and the temperature is maintained at zero on the curved surfaces
and the lower plane surface of the cylinder.
Keywords and phrases: cylinder, unsteady-state, upper surface unknown, Hankel-Laplace transform.
