Abstract: This review article describes aerospace thermal-structural testing technology. It begins with discussions of aerodynamic heating and space radiation heating. The review continues with a general ...

Abstract: This review discusses research on thermal buckling of plates and shells since the first work in the 1950s. Elastic thermal buckling of metallic as well as composite plates and shells is ...

Abstract: A thermoviscoplastic finite element method employing the Bodner‐Partom constitutive model is used to investigate the response of simplified thermal‐structural models to intense local heating. The computational method ...

Abstract: Virtually all previous research on thermally induced vibrations has investigated vibrations caused by surface heating. This paper describes the first detailed study of a thermally induced vibration ...
