Abstract

The most straightforward method of setting up thermoelastic contact problems is to find the surface displacement of an equivalent traction-free body and then to solve an isothermal contact problem for this distorted body. In this paper, Green's functions are given which permit the solution of the former problem to be expressed as a double integral of the surface heat input or temperature in time and space. The functions are chosen and defined with a view to efficient numerical computations, since the solutions of transient thermoelastic contact problems tend to be lengthy.
