Thermal Stresses Induced by a Variable Heat Source in a Rectangle and Variable Pressure at Its Boundary by Finite Fourier Transform

Abstract

This paper deals with the two-dimensional, non-homogeneous boundary value problem for static, isotropic and thermoelastic material occupying an infinitely long cylinder with a rectangular cross-section. The cylinder is surrounded by a given temperature and subjected to variable pressures at its boundaries. We deal with static, uncoupled, linear thermoelasticity. The equations of heat conduction and mechanical problem are considered separately. The technique of the finite Fourier transform is used for the solution. The thermoelastic behavior, due to an internal heat generation within the domain, is discussed. The results for displacement and stresses have been computed from the Airy stress function and are illustrated graphically.
