This book deals with the concept of thermoelasticity which finds its roots and applications in the branch of Physics, Mathematics and Engineering. Thermoelasticity is a fast growing concept and today it is an integral part of engineering and structural designs, rocket science and space engineering. Mathematical aspects of thermoelastic problems in cylindrical and spherical structures have been dealt with and thermal displacements, thermal stress and strains in these structures have been discussed in detail.Functionally Graded Materials, which have gained popularity as high temperature and...
