The steady state creep behaviour of a rotating FGM disc having linearly varying thickness has been investigated. The disc is assumed to be made of functionally graded composite containing non-linearly varying radial distribution of silicon carbide particles in a matrix of pure aluminum. The creep behaviour of the composite has been described by threshold stress based law. The effect of varying the disc thickness gradient has been analyzed on the stresses and strain rates in the FGM disc. It is observed that the radial and tangential stresses induced in the FGM disc decrease throughout with the increase in thickness gradient of the disc. The strain rates also decrease with the increase in thickness gradient of the FGM disc, with a relatively higher decrease near the inner radius. The increase in disc thickness gradient results in relatively uniform distribution of strain rates and hence reduces the chances of distortion in the disc.

In this paper, an effort has been made to study the effect of anisotropy on the steady state creep behavior in the functionally graded material disc with hyperbolic thickness made of Al - SiC (particle). The content of silicon carbide particles in the disc is assumed to decrease linearly from the inner to the outer radius of the disc. The creep behavior of the disc under stresses developing due to rotation at 15,000 rpm has been determined by Sherby's law. The creep parameters of the FGM disc vary along the radial distance due to varying composition and this variation has been estimated by regression fit of the available experimental data. The creep response of rotating disc is expressed by a threshold stress with value of stress exponent as 8. The study reveals that the anisotropy has a significant effect on the steady state creep response of rotating FGM disc. Thus, the care to introduce anisotropy should be taken for the safe design of the rotating FGM disc with hyperbolic thickness.
