Thermo-mechanical　analysis　of　functionally　graded　hollow　circular　cylinders　subjected　to　mechanical　loads　and　linearly　increasing　boundary　temperature　is　carried　out　in　this　study.　Thermo-mechanical　properties　of　functionally　graded　material　(FGM)　are　assumed　to　be　temperature　independent　and　vary　continuously　in　the　radial　direction　of　cylinder.　Employing　Laplace　transform　techniques　and　series　solving　method　for　ordinary　differential　equation,　solutions　for　the　time-dependent　temperature　and　thermo-mechanical　stresses　are　obtained.　As　an　example,　a　molybdenum/mullite　FGM　with　material　properties　follow　an　exponential　law　is　calculated,　and　numerical　results　are　graphically　presented.　(C)　2007　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
