Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project is concerned with constitutive laws for thermoelastic solids with emphasis on the analysis of finite deformation problems in which there are temperature gradients and, in particular, large temperature differences. This requires assessment of the suitability of laws of heat conduction currently available and the development of new laws. The range of validity of the constraint of mechanical incompressibility in the context of large temperature changes will also be examined in detail. The theory will be applied to a number of prototype boundary-value problems in order to test the applicability of the laws of heat conduction with respect to experimental data available in the literature. This analysis will be carried out with and without the constraint of mechanical incompressibility. Closed-form solutions will be sought for certain simple geometries and numerical methods will be used where such solutions are not forthcoming. It is intended that the work will lead to an improved understanding of the interaction between large deformation and heat conduction in elastic solids.
