The present paper deals with thermal behaviour analysis of an axisymmetric functionally graded thermosensitive hollow cylinder. The system of coordinates are expressed in cylindrical-polar form. The heat conduction equation is of time-fractional order 0 < α ≤ 2, subjected to the effect of internal heat generation. Convective boundary conditions are applied to inner and outer curved surfaces whereas heat dissipates following Newton’s law of cooling. The lower surface is subjected to heat flux, whereas the upper surface is thermally insulated. Kirchhoff’s transformation is used to remove the nonlinearity of the heat equation and further it is solved to find temperature and associated stresses by applying integral transformation method. For numerical analysis a ceramic-metal-based functionally graded material is considered and the obtained results of temperature distribution and associated stresses are presented graphically.
