Study on Transient Thermal Response for Functionally Graded Materials Based on Peridynamic Theory

Abstract

The transient heat conduction formula of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is presented based on peridynamics (PD). The simplified micro-heat conductivity model for FGMs is proposed and the numerical discretization and the peridynamic numerical formation are also illustrated. A FORTRAN program is coded to implement calculations. The accuracy of the program is verified by comparing the FEM and analytical results with PD solution. The FGM rectangle plate composed by titanium alloy coating zirconium oxide is performed to calculate temperature fields. The effects of material gradient, porosity and temperature load on thermal response are studied. It is shown that the ceramic proportion of FGMs is increased with an increasing material shape parameter and the thermal shielding performance of FGMs is also improved. The effect of the porosity on thermal response is more and more significant with the increasing time step. The increasing temperature load only affects the temperature response of FGM ceramic area. The thickness of temperature distribution area is increased with the increasing of heat conduction time.
