TEMPERATURE AND THERMAL-STRESS DISTRIBUTIONS IN SOME STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS HEATED AT A CONSTANT RATE

摘要

Analytical, solutions are given for the temperature and thermal-stress distributions in thick skins and structural elements such as angle, channel, T-, and H-sections when heated at a constant rate. Certain of the analytical solutions are evaluated for selected cross-sectional proportions. The results are presented in the form of charts involving dimensionless temperature, stress, and time parameters and therefore are applicable for different materials and heating rates, and absolute size of the section. The results have been found useful for analyzing and correlating experimental data.
