This study is concerned with the behavior of stress and strain in a thick walled functionally graded material (FGM) cylinder under internal pressure. The incompatible eigenstrain and equivalent eigenstrain developed in the cylinder, are taken into account. As a demonstration, a TiC/Al2O3 FGM cylinder is considered and different components of stress and strain are presented in order to study the effects of internal pressure, temperature difference (between room and sintering temperature), cylinder wall thickness and material distribution. The numerical result presented here shows that the thermoelastic characteristic like stress and strain of an FGM cylinder is significantly influenced by some of the above-mentioned parameters and can be controlled by properly controlling these parameters.
