In the full linear theory of thermoelasticity there is a coupling between the thermal and the purely mechanical effects so that not only does a nonuniform distribution of temperature in the solid produce a state of stress but dynamical body forces or applied surface tractions produce variations in temperature throughout the body. In a recent paper (Eason and Sneddon, (2)) an account was given of the calculation of the dynamic stresses produced in elastic bodies, both infinite and semi-infinite, by uneven heating. In this paper we shall consider the propagation of thermal stresses in an infinite medium when, in addition to heat sources, there are present body forces which vary with the time.

SynopsisThe presence of a non-uniform distribution of temperature in an elastic solid gives rise to an additional term in the generalized Hooke's Law connecting the stress and strain tensors and to a term involving the time rate of change of the dilatation in the equation governing the conduction of heat in the solid. The present paper is concerned with the effects produced by these additional terms in two simple situations. In the first, the elastic solid is regarded as being of infinite extent and the distribution of temperature in the solid is produced by heat sources whose strength may vary with time. In the second, the solid is supposed to be semi-infinite and to be deformed by prescribed variations in the temperature of the bounding plane and by heat sources within itself.

When an elastic solid is subjected to a dynamical system of surface or body forces, not all of the work done by these forces is employed in deforming the material. The remainder is converted into heat energy producing a distribution of temperature throughout the body. Similarly the application of a surface temperature distribution, or the introduction of heat sources within the body, produces elastic as well as thermal effects. Thus we see that in the dynamical case there is a link between these two types of condition—thermal and elastic.

General solution of the generalized micropolar thermoelastic equations has been obtained for arbitrary distribution of the body couples, body forces, and heat sources in an infinite body. Short time solutions have been obtained for the cases of impulsive body force and heat source acting at a point. Numerical values of the short time solutions have been displayed graphically.


The conventional treatment of body forces in continuum mechanics implies that these forces are applied to a structure having the dimensions of the final body. This treatment is quite satisfactory when the body forces arise from the presence of an acceleration field or of an electromagnetic field. It fails, however, when we turn to the determination of the state of stress in a body which grows to its final shape by the gradual accretion of layers of material. Then the weight of each new layer loads and deforms the earlier material before hardening and becoming a part of the final structure. Successive layers are applied not to an unstressed but to a partially complete structure which is in a state of initial stress and deformation. The final gravitational stresses in such an accreted body depend upon an historical element; that is, on the order and manner in which the final shape is attained. When the final state is achieved there is, in general, a non-vanishing dislocation tensor. An appropriate method of computing the final gravitational stresses due to own weight is indicated for the case in which the stresses and deformations are small enough to permit the use of the constitutive and geometric equations of the linear theory of elasticity. The method is illustrated for the case of a gravitating sphere that has grown to its final size by accretion of material.

An analytical approach for treating problems involving oscillatory heat source is presented. The transient temperature profile involving circular, rectangular, and parabolic heat sources undergoing oscillatory motion on a semi-infinite body is determined by integrating the instantaneous solution for a point heat source throughout the area where the heat source acts with an assumption that the body takes all the heat. An efficient algorithm for solving the governing equations is developed. The results of a series simulations are presented, covering a wide range of operating parameters including a new dimensionless frequency ω¯=ωl2∕4α and the dimensionless oscillation amplitude A¯=A∕l, whose product can be interpreted as the Peclet number involving oscillatory heat source, Pe=ω¯A¯. Application of the present method to fretting contact is presented. The predicted temperature is in good agreement with published literature. Furthermore, analytical expressions for predicting the maximum surface temperature for different heat sources are provided by a surface-fitting method based on an extensive number of simulations.

Abstract Manufacturing processes involving moving heat sources include additive manufacturing, welding, laser processing (cladding and heat treatment), machining, and grinding. These processes involve high local thermal stresses that induce plasticity and result in permanent residual stress and distortion. The residual stresses are typically calculated numerically at great computational expense despite the fact that the inelastic fraction of the domain is very small. Efforts to decouple the small plastic part from the large elastic part have led to the development of the tendon force concept. The tendon force can be predicted analytically for the case of infinitely rigid components; however, this limitation has prevented the broader use of the concept in practical applications. This work presents a rigorous mathematical treatment using dimensional analysis, asymptotics, and blending which demonstrates that the effect of geometric compliance depends on a single dimensionless group, the Okerblom number. Closed-form expressions are derived to predict the effect of compliance without the need for empirical ad-hoc fitting or calibration. The proposed expressions require input of only material properties and tabulated process parameters, and are thus ideally suited for use in metamodels and design calculations, as well as incorporation into engineering codes and standards.

Abstract This paper contains an explicit series solution, exact within the classical theory of elasticity, for the steady-state thermal stresses and displacements induced in a spherical shell by an arbitrary axisymmetric distribution of surface temperatures. The corresponding solutions for a solid sphere and for a spherical cavity in an infinite medium are obtained as limiting cases. The convergence of the series solutions obtained is discussed. Numerical results are presented appropriate to a solid sphere if two hemispherical caps of its boundary are maintained at distinct uniform temperatures.
