Abstract

Purpose

In this work, the effect of porosity volume fraction, porosity types, material grading index, variable disk profiles and aspect ratio on disk performance was studied by performing limit elastic speed analysis of functionally graded porous rotating disks (PFGM) under thermo-mechanical loading.

Design/methodology/approach

The composition change was varied by employing the power law function. The thermo-mechanical properties of PFGM such as Young's modulus and yield strength were estimated using modified rule of mixture, for density and coefficient of thermal expansion rule of mixture was used. The even and uneven distribution of porosity in a disk was taken as uniform, symmetrical, inner maximum and outer maximum. The problem was then solved with the help of the variational principle and Galerkin's error minimization theory.

Findings

The research reveals that the grading parameter, disk geometry and porosity distribution have a significant impact on the limit elastic speed in comparison to the aspect ratio.

Practical implications

The study determines a range of operable speeds for porous and non-porous disk profiles that the industry can utilize to estimate structural performance.

Originality/value

A finite element investigation was conducted to validate the findings of the present study. Limit elastic analysis of porous FG disks under thermo-mechanical loading has not been studied before.
