Thermal Stresses

Catalog description

Heat transfer from boundary layer to surface of structures. Analysis of distribution of temperature in structures. Calculation of thermal stresses and deformations in rods, curved beams and rings, plates and shells of revolution of isotropic as well as composite construction. Relative axial displacement of the edges of a shell of revolution with and without edge constraints. Buckling of rods, curved beams, rings plates and shells of revolution under the action of thermal stresses. Reduction in rigidity of structures in consequence of thermal buckling. Modern developments on thermal stresses and deformations of orthotropic layered shells of revolution. Classroom Hours- Laboratory and/or Studio Hours- Course Credits: 3-0-3
