The book is intended as an advanced modern textbook and reference handbook on the topic of Thermal Stresses. It should serve a wide range of readers, in particular, graduate students, candidates for PhD degrees, professors, scientists, researchers in various industrial and government institutes, and engineers working in Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering. Thus, the book should be useful to those working or interested in diverse areas of Applied Mathematics, Continuum Mechanics, Stress Analysis, and Mechanical Design.As the field of Thermal Stresses lies at the cross roads of the Stress Analysis, Theory of Elasticity, Heat Conduction, and advanced methods of Applied Mathematics, all these areas are covered in the book to the extent they are necessary. Thus, the book is self-contained, so that the reader should not need to consult other sources while studying the topic. The book starts from the basic concepts and principles, and these are developed to more advanced levels as the text progresses. Nevertheless, some basic preparation on the part of the reader is expected in Classical Mechanics, Stress Analysis, and Mathematics, including Vector and Cartesian Tensor Analysis.

From the Back Cover
This book is intended as an advanced modern textbook and reference handbook on the topic of thermal stresses. It should serve a wide range of readers, in particular, graduate and postgraduate students, scientists, researchers in various industrial and government institutes, and engineers working in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering. This volume covers diverse areas of applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, stress analysis, and mechanical design. This work treats a number of topics not presented in other books on thermal stresses, for example: theory of coupled and generalized thermoelasticity, finite and boundary element method in generalized thermoelasticity, thermal stresses in functionally graded structures, and thermal expansions of piping systems. As the field of thermal stresses lies at the crossroads of stress analysis, theory of elasticity, heat conduction, and advanced methods of applied mathematics, all these subjects are dealt with in the book to the extent they are necessary. Thus, the book is self-contained, so that the reader should not need to consult other sources while studying the topic. The book starts from basic concepts and principles, and these are developed to more advanced levels as the text progresses. Nevertheless, some basic knowledge on the part of the reader is expected in classical mechanics, stress analysis, and mathematics, including vector and cartesian tensor analysis.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource for working thermal elasticity problems,

This review is from: Thermal Stresses -- Advanced Theory and Applications (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications) (Hardcover)
I'm a turbine nozzle mechanical designer with extensive experience in heat transfer and cooling design. This book made a very good addition to my shelf at work. The physics are advanced, but the combination of example applications and derivations allow you to be able to gleen pertinent equations and information to tackle your real-world problems. I would recommend a good elasticity book/course would be a precursor to getting this book however. Notation is clear and easy to follow.
