Tóm tắt

The two-dimensional problem of generalized thermoelasticity for a fiber-reinforced anisotropic thick plate under initial stress is studied in the context of the Lord and Shulman theory. The upper surface of the plate is thermally insulated with prescribed surface loading while the lower surface of the plate rests on a rigid foundation and temperature. The problem is solved numerically using a finite element method. Numerical results for the temperature distribution, and the displacement and stress components are given and illustrated graphically. It is found from the graphs that the initial stress significantly influences the variations of field quantities. The results obtained in this paper may offer a theoretical basis and meaningful suggestions for the design of various fiber-reinforced anisotropic thermoelastic elements under loading to meet special engineering requirements.
