Synopsis

The theory of thermoelasticity studies the interaction between thermal and mechan- ical fields in elastic bodies. This theory is of interest both for the mathematical and technical point of view. Intense interest has been shown recently in this field owing to the great practical importance of dynamical effects in aeronautics, nu- clear reactors, and its potential importance in cryogenic applications. This work is concerned mainly with basic problems of the theory of thermoelasticity. Ther- moelasticity of polar materials and the theories of thermoelasticity with finite wave speeds are not considered here. The reader interested in these subjects will find a full account in the works of Nowacki [280], Chandrasekharaiah [60] and Ignaczak [195]. Our purpose in this work is to present a systematic treatment of some results established in the theory of thermoelasticity. On the whole, the subject matter is directed towards recent developments. Chapter 1 is concerned mainly with the development of the fundamental equa- tions of the theory of thermoelasticity. The kinematics and primitive concepts associated with the basic principles are developed and emphasized only to the ex- tent that they are needed in our treatment of the subject. Chapter 2 is devoted to a study of linear thermoelastic deformations for prestressed bodies. We have at- tempted to isolate those conceptual and mathematical difficulties which arise over and above those inherent in the problems concerned with unstressed bodies.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume is concerned mainly with basic problems of the theory of thermoelasticity. Beginning with the basic laws of thermomechanics, there follows a treatment of the theory of thermoelasticity for bodies with initial stress and initial heat flux. Subsequent chapters cover the analysis of linear thermoelastodynamics and equilibrium theory. The authors conclude with a study of nonlinear thermoelasticity. On the whole, the subject matter is directed towards recent developments. The theory of thermoelasticity is of considerable interest both from the mathematical and the technical points of view, and relevant examples and exercises which illustrate the theory are given throughout the text. The book should be of interest to mathematicians, physicists and specialists working in the fields of thermoelasticity, elasticity, civil engineering and geophysics.
