Application of Isochronous Integration Framework to Dynamic Thermoelasticity

Overview

Dynamic thermoelasticity involves generalization of both the fields of heat conduction in solids and continuum elasticity. The thermoelastic behavior of solids and engineering structures has long been a subject of widespread research activity and interest, and numerous publications exist to date including a review article by Tamma and Namburu [1], as the problem has a significant number of general engineering applications in mechanical, aerospace, chemical, civil, electronic, and nuclear engineering disciplines. Therefore, an accurate understanding of the interdisciplinary thermal-structural interactions is of utmost importance and concern especially in the design and analysis stage. The complexity and interdisciplinary nature of these structures significantly influences the response characteristics and makes the combined modeling and analysis a formidable and challenging task.

In this regard, numerical computational methods play an important role for both the fields of heat...
