Abstract: | Transient temperature and thermal-stress distributions arising in an infinite long composite hollow circular cylinder subjected to internal heat generation decaying exponentially along the wall thickness resulting from γ-ray radiation are analyzed, under the thermal conditions of cooling by convection on the inner surface and insulation on the outer surface. Numerical calculations of the transient temperature and thermal-stress distributions are carried out for the case of a composite cylinder of stainless steel and carbon steel. The influence of the absorption coefficient, the Biot number and the splicing radius on the results are considered. |
