Tackling subjects with little coverage in existing resources, the book considers complex problems, including multi-layered cases, using modern advanced computational and vibrational methods.Authors Carrera and Fazzolari begin with a review of the fundamentals of thermoelasticity and thermal stress analysis relating to advanced structures and the basic mechanics of beams, plates and shells, making the book a self-contained reference.The text then progresses to more challenging topics, including, multilayered, anisotropic thermal stress structures, static and dynamic responses of coupled and uncoupled thermoelastic problems, thermal buckling and post-buckling behavior of thermally loaded structures, and thermal effects on panel flutter phenomena, amongst others.Provides an overview of critical thermal stress theory relating to beams, plates and shells, from classical concepts to the latest advanced theories Includes the authors unified formulation (UF) theory, along with cutting-edge topics with little coverage in other references Covers metallic and composite structures, including a complete analysis of layered structures, and considers both mesh and meshless methods Sample problems throughout the text cover both metallic and composite structures, accounting for both mesh and meshless methods Valuable resource for those working on thermal stress problems in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering settings Thermal Stress Analysis of Beams, Plates and Shells by Erasmo Carrera
