The present study investigates the steady state creep in a rotating thick-walled composite cylinder, with constant angular speed and made up of aluminum matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles (SiC). The distribution of SiC is assumed to be either uniform or decreasing linearly from the inner to the outer radius of the cylinder. The thermal gradient in the rotating functionally gradient cylinder is estimated by performing Finite Element Analysis with ANSYS software. Further, the creep behavior of the cylinder has been described by threshold stress based creep law and the material...
