Abstract
This paper is concerned with the strain gradient theory of porous thermoelastic solids. We study the deformation of isotropic chiral cylinders subjected to a temperature field that is linear in the axial coordinate. It is shown that the solution can be reduced to the study of two-dimensional problems. The results are used to investigate the deformation of a circular cylinder subjected to a uniform temperature variation. In contrast to the case of achiral materials, the thermal field in chiral cylinders produces torsional effects.
