The thermoelastic problem of the bounded axisymmetric structures subjected to transient thermal shock was studied. The thermoelastic model for a thick hollowcylinder was built in the context of the generalized Lord-Shulman theory( L-S theory) for thermoelasticity. The Laplace transform technique and the asymptotic properties of the Bessel functions were introduced to derive the analytical solutions of displacement,temperature and stress,which were induced by a sudden temperature rise. The propagation,reflec...
