Industrial Applications of Thermoelastic Stress Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

The advent of new thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) technology has widened the industrial applications of the technique. Three case studies where data have been taken in previously inaccessible or unfeasible cases are presented. The case studies, taken from both the aerospace and automotive industries, will demonstrate the novelty of these applications and highlight the industrial advantages gained in terms of time saving and quality of results.
