Thermal Stresses in Beams

In this chapter, based on the Bernoulli-Euler hypothesis, thermal stresses in beams subjected to thermal and mechanical loads are recalled. Thermal stresses in composite and curved beams, and thermal deflections in beams subjected to a symmetrical thermal load are treated. Furthermore, solutions for stresses in curved beams are included. Problems and solutions for beams subjected to various temperature field or various boundary conditions are presented. [see also Chap. 23.]
