Abstract

Using the Green function, the boundary integral formula and natural boundary integral equation for thermal elastic problems are obtained. Then based on bending solutions to circular plates subjected to the non-axi- symmetrical load, by utilizing the Fourier series and convolution formulae, the bending solutions under non-axisymmetrical thermal conditions have been obtained. The calculating process is simple. Examples show the discussed methods are effective.
