Stresses and deformations in composite tubes due to a circumferential temperature gradientA linear elasticity solution for determining the response of composite tubes subjected to a circumferential temperature gradient is presented. Numerical examples are used to show that, in a single layer tube, fiber orientation strongly influences response. When the fibers are aligned axially, all stress components in the tube are small. When the fibers are aligned circumferentially, the hoop stress becomes large. This difference in behavior is due to the large difference between the radial and circumferential coefficients of thermal expansion when the fibers are oriented circumferentially. In multilayer tubes, stresses are quite high and just two constants characterize the overall bending and axial deformations of the tubes.
