... the analytical expressions of the displacement components, force stress and temperature distribution. Findings The numerical results are given and presented graphically when mechanical/thermal source is applied. Originality/value Comparisons are made in the presence and absence of hydrostatic initial...

... The methodology applied here is the use of integral transforms to obtain the components of displacement, force stress, conductive temperature and temperature distribution in Laplace and Fourier domain. The general solution obtained is applied to a specific problem of a half‐space subjected to concentrated force...

... and thermal expansion data is explained ‐ obtained by implementing a previous programme in a personal computer (PC) code ‐ to evaluate the through‐wall temperature distribution and the RS field due to multi‐pass welding of flat or axi‐symmetric joints. The calculation of temperature distribution, axial...
