IX.—The Propagation of Thermal Stresses in Thin Metallic Rods*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2012
Synopsis
If the temperature in an elastic rod is not uniform and if it varies with time, dynamic thermal stresses are set up in the rod. This paper is concerned with the calculation of the distribution of temperature and stress in an elastic rod when its ends are subjected to mechanical or thermal disturbances. Simple waves in an infinite rod are first discussed and then boundary value problems for semi-infinite rods and rods of finite length. The paper concludes with an account of an approximate method of solving the equations of thermoelasticity.
