A dual-reciprocity boundary element approach for axisymmetric nonlinear time-dependent heat conduction in a nonhomogeneous solid

摘要

A dual-reciprocity boundary element method is presented for the numerical solution of a nonsteady axisymmetric heat conduction problem involving a nonhomogeneous solid with temperature dependent properties. It is applied to solve some specific problems including one which involves the laser heating of a cylindrical solid.
