Thermomechanical analysis of functionally graded laminates using tolerance approach
Ewelina Pazera, Jarosław Jędrysiak · AIP conference proceedings · 2018
In this note the problem of thermoelasticity in composite made of two different materials is presented. The macroscopic properties of this composite are changing continuously along one direction. In this work three models are presented: the tolerance and the asymptotic-tolerance model, taking into account the effect of the microstructure size and the asymptotic model, which neglects this effect. The equations of these three models were obtained by using the tolerance averaging technique and solved by the finite difference method. Then the results obtained by tolerance modelling were verified by the finite element method.
