Abstract

In this paper, a functionally graded thick hollow sphere is considered for the analysis of two-dimensional steady state mechanical stress in the radial and circumferential directions under mechanical loading. Modulus of elasticity is varying with continuous nonlinear variation along the radial direction and Poisson’s ratio is kept as constant. The Legendre series and Euler differential equation are used to solve Navier equations. Geometry of the sphere is assumed in spherical coordinate system. Applying mechanical boundary conditions at inner and outer radii, we have carried out the analytical solutions for stresses, strains and displacements. In the numerical example, only internal pressure is varying along circumferential direction and external pressure is kept as zero. Displacements and mechanical stresses are presented graphically and the results are discussed numerically.

Keywords- Sphere, Young’s modulus, Stresses, Pressure, Functionally graded material.
