Abstract
The paper presents an analytical way of calculating thermal stress distributions in cylindrical vessels, nonuniformly heated on their circumference. In thick-walled vessel elements, simplified analytical formulas do not give satisfactory results. A new method for determining thermal stresses has been developed. On the basis of temperature history measurements at several points on the drum outer surface, a time-space temperature distribution in the component cross section is determined, and next, thermal stresses are calculated using the finite element method (FEM). The new method, proposed for the solution of the inverse heat conduction problem, is sufficiently accurate. Knowledge of the boundary conditions on the inner surface of the drum, i.e., fluid temperature and heat transfer coefficient, is not necessary because the transient temperature distribution in the component is obtained from the solution of the inverse heat conduction problem. Comparison of the thermal distributions from FEM versus the new method demonstrate the accuracy of the new method. An example application of the new method demonstrates its benefits over the solution of the boundary-initial problem obtained by FEM.
