Design for Thermal Stresses [EPUB ebook] 

The tools engineers need for effective thermal stress design

Thermal stress concerns arise in many engineering situations,
from aerospace structures to nuclear fuel rods to concrete highway
slabs on a hot summer day. Having the tools to understand and
alleviate these potential stresses is key for engineers in
effectively executing a wide range of modern design tasks.

Design for Thermal Stresses provides an accessible and balanced
resource geared towards real-world applications. Presenting both
the analysis and synthesis needed for accurate design, the book
emphasizes key principles, techniques, and approaches for solving
thermal stress problems. Moving from basic to advanced topics,
chapters cover:

* Bars, beams, and trusses from a ‘strength of materials’
perspective

* Plates, shells, and thick-walled vessels from a ‘theory of
elasticity’ perspective

* Thermal buckling in columns, beams, plates, and shells

Written for students and working engineers, this book features
numerous sample problems demonstrating concepts at work. In
addition, appendices include important SI units, relevant material
properties, and mathematical functions such as Bessel and Kelvin
functions, as well as characteristics of matrices and determinants
required for designing plates and shells. Suitable as either a
working reference or an upper-level academic text, Design for
Thermal Stresses gives students and professional engineers the
information they need to meet today’s thermal stress design
challenges.
