...J. T. Harris; A. E. Segall; D. Robinson; R. Carter Under these assumptions, Underwood and co-workers [ 1 , 3–9 ] developed a thermomechanical model which used finite-difference methods to first evaluate the transient temperature distributions as a function of the depth for a coated steel plate...

... direct solution to determine the thermal- and stress-states as a function of time and position. For the two geometries explored, namely a thick-walled cylinder under an internal transient with external convection and a slab with one adiabatic surface, excellent agreement was seen with various test cases...

...A. E. Segall A common threat to thick-walled vessels and pipes is thermal shock from operational steady state or transient thermoelastic stresses. As such, boundary conditions must be known or determined in order to reveal the underlying thermal state. For direct problems where all boundary...
