The thermoelastic state of a thin orthotropic shell of nonnegative Gaussian curvature heated by a lumped impulsive heat source moving over its surface is studied. Linear distribution of temperature over the shell thickness and Newton's law of cooling on the lateral surfaces are assumed. The analytical solution is obtained using the Fourier and Laplace transforms. The effect of the type of heating, the thermomechanical properties of the material, and the type and magnitude of heat exchange on the stress state of orthotropic shells is analyzed Keywords: thermoelasticity, orthotropic shell, integral transform, impulsive heat source
Introduction. BasicEquations. An important area of technological thermomechanics is the study of thermal stresses in structural members in various processes such as welding, grinding, linear cutting, honing, facing, spinning. Moreover, special emphasis is placed on the treatment of materials with focused energy: light beams, electron and ion beams, plasma jets.While the behavior of plates and isotropic shells under various thermal loads has been studied well enough [3, 4, 6, 8], orthotropic and anisotropic shells have received much less attention because of the complexity of solutions [1,2,9,10]. The propagation of stresses induced by laser and electron beam treatment have been studied poorly too [3,9,10].The present paper is concerned with a thermoelastic problem for an orthotropic shallow shell of nonnegative Gaussian curvature heated by a lumped impulsive heat source moving over its surface in the following manner:
