Abstract
The purpose of the work is to compare two calculation methods using the example of solving the axisymmetric thermoelasticity problem. The calculation of a thick-walled cylindrical three-layer shell on the temperature effect was carried out by the numerical-analytical method and the finite element method implemented in the LIRA-CAD software package. In the calculation, a piecewise linear inhomogeneity of the shell due to its three-layer structure and continuous inhomogeneity caused by the influence of a stationary temperature field is taken into account. The numerical-analytical method of calculation involves the derivation of a resolving differential equation, which is solved by the sweep method, it is possible to take into account the nonlinear nature of the deformation of the material using the method of successive approximations. To solve this problem by the finite element method, a similar computational model of the shell was constructed in the LIRA-CAD software package. The solution of the problem of thermoelasticity for an infinite cylinder (under conditions of a plane deformed state) and for a cylinder of finite length with free ends is given. Comparison of the calculation results is carried out according to the obtained values of ring stresses.
