Plane Thermoelastic Deformation of a Multilayer Foundation with Non-Ideal Thermal Contact between its Layers

Abstract

We proposed the method of the compliance function for the solution of two-dimensional stationary problem of thermoelasticity for a multilayer foundation (stack of elastic layers coupled with a half plane) with a non-ideal thermal contact between its layers. We constructed the recurrence relations for the auxiliary functions and the compliance functions of neighboring layers of the foundation. We analyzed the influence of thermal resistance on the distribution of stresses and temperature at the points of the lower boundary of the upper layer for a two-layer foundation subjected to the action of thermal loads.
