To monitor and control its thermal state, a rotor s temperature and thermal stress fields must be calculated in real time. After some reasonable assumptions and simplification, iterative models of the rotor s temperature and thermal stresses were obtained with an integral transform based on a two-dimensional axis-symmetry thermal conduction differential equation. The models can deal with some nonlinear factors such as material and boundary condition. An example is given to compare results computed by the finite element method (FEM) and one-dimensional models. The result shows that the analytical model gained has high quality and the computing course is very short. The iterative formulas could be used not only to analyze the rotor’s thermal states of turbine, but to monitor and control them online. The method adopted can be used to analyze the thermal state of other axis-symmetry objects having similar boundary conditions.
