Boundary element analysis of viscoelastic solids under transient thermal state

摘要

This paper is concerned with a time-domain boundary element technique suitable for the analysis of linear viscoelastic solids with temperature-dependent properties in the presence of a uniform transient temperature field. Thermorheologically simple material behaviour is assumed. Following an exposition of the boundary integral formulation, the numerical results of two example problems are presented to show the applicability of the proposed method.
