This paper deals with one-dimensional axisymmetric quasi-static coupled magnetothermoelastic problems subjected to magnetic and vapor fields. Laplace transform and finite difference methods are used to analyze the problems. Using the Laplace transform with respect to time, the general solutions of the governing equations are obtained in the transform domain. The solution is obtained by using the matrix similarity transformation and inverse Laplace transform. We obtain solutions for the temperature and thermal deformation distributions for a transient and steady state. It is demonstrated that the computational procedures established in this paper are capable of solving the generalized magnetothermoelasticity problem of a hollow cylinder with nonhomogeneous layers.
