The book is intended as an advanced modern textbook and reference handbook onthe topic of Thermal Stresses. It should serve a wide range of readers, in particular, graduate students, candidates for PhD degrees, professors, scientists, researchers in various industrial and government institutes, and engineers working in Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering. Thus, the book should be useful to those working or interested in diverse areas of AppliedMathematics, Continuum Mechanics, Stress Analysis, and Mechanical Design. As the field of Thermal Stresses lies at the cross roads of the Stress Analysis, Theory of Elasticity, Heat Conduction, and advanced methods of Applied Mathematics, all these areas are covered in the book to the extend they are necessary. Thus, the book is self-contained, so that the reader should not need to consult other sources while studying the topic. The first and only book on the subject with so many engineering applications besides the theory Covers not only linear problems of Thermal Stresses, as earlier books do, but nonlinear problems, e.g., contains the whole chapter on Creep Analysis due to Thermal Stresses; this is absolutely unique INDICE: From the contents 1 Basic Laws of Thermoelasticity. 2 Thermodynamics of Elastic Continuum. 3 Basic Problems of Thermoelasticity. 4 Heat Conduction Problems. 5 Thermal Stresses in Beams. 6 Disks, Cylinders, and Spheres. 7 Thermal Expansion in Piping Systems. 8 Coupled and Generalized Thermoelasticity. 9 Finite and Boundary Element Methods. 10 Creep Analysis.
