Abstract: Based on von Mises yield criterion, a thermoelasto-plastic analysis of a thick-walled spherical shell composed of functionally graded material (FGM) subjected to internal pressure and thermal gradient is conducted in order to accurately predict the onset radius of yielding within the vessel wall. The modulus of elasticity, thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficients, and yield stress of FGM are assumed to follow power-law functions in radius according to Erdogan's model. The equilibrium differential equation of the shell under thermo-mechanical loading in steady-state conduction heat transfer are derived analytically and then solved to determine through-thickness variations of the radial and circumferential stresses and radial displacement in elastic and perfectly plastic zones in the vessel wall. The presented approach leads to the definition of new formulation to predict the onset radius of yielding. Moreover, a neural network (NN) solution to reliable quantify the influence of all uncertain input parameters with respect to uncertain output parameter is utilized. The numerical results showed that for various FGM parameters and specific thermal gradient, the plastic zone can commence from inside radius, outside radius, simultaneously in both radii, or may be launched in the intermediate radius of the spherical shell wall.
