Finite difference approach for predicting probabilistic life of a composite cylinder subjected to thermal random loads
A long hollow cylinder with five layers, subjected to a random thermal environment is analyzed. The random thermal environment includes the ambient air temperature, solar radiation and wind speed. The location of interest is Phoenix, Arizona. The governing differential equation is the so-called...
