New Aspects of Thermoelastic Contact.

Abstract

This project has been concerned with a variety of problems in contact and fracture where the configuration of the system - and hence the correct formulation of the problem - is influenced by thermoelastic distortion. A general result has also been established, relating the thermally induced curvature of a finite cylinder to the local heat flux across its end faces. This is of direct application in assessing the influence of thermal strain on the contact of two finite cylinders - a geometry commonly used for measurement of thermal contact resistance. Keywords include: heat conduction.
