Uniform heating of compound cylinders of different materials
When an initially unstressed compound cylinder constructed from two tubes of the same
material is heated uniformly, all parts of the cylinder will expand at the same rate, this rate
depending on the value of the coefficient of expansion for the cylinder material.
If the two tubes are of different materials, however, each will attempt to expand at different
rates and
digerential thermal stresses
will be set up as described in
42.3.
The method of
treatment for such compound cylinders is therefore similar to that used for compound bars in
the section noted.
Consider, therefore, two tubes of different material as shown in Fig. 10.17. Here it is
convenient, for simplicity
of
treatment, to take as an example steel and brass for the two
materials since the coefficients of expansion for these materials are known, the value for brass
being greater than that for steel. Thus if the inner tube is
of
brass, as the temperature rises the
brass will attempt to expand at a faster rate than the outer steel tube, the “free” expansions
being indicated in Fig. 10.17a.
In
practice, however, when the tubes are joined as a compound
cylinder, the steel will restrict the expansion of the brass and, conversely, the brass will force
the steel to expand beyond its “free” expansion position. As a result a compromise situation is
reached as shown in Fig. 10.17b, both tubes being effectively compressed radially (i.e. on their
thickness) through the amounts shown. An effective increase
pt
in “shrinkage” pressure is thus
introduced.
