On Transient Thermal Stresses in an Infinite Thin Plate
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
The presence of a non-steady state of temperature in an elastic solid gives rise to an additional term in the generalised Hooke's Law connecting the stress and strain tensors and terms involving the time rate of change of the dilatation. This time-dependent dilatation may produce so-called thermoelastic stress waves. The present note is concerned with the effects produced by these additional terms in a simple situation, in which the elastic solid is regarded as a thin plate of infinite extent. The distribution of temperature in the plate is produced by a point heat source of Dirac type.
