This advanced modern textbook on thermal stresses serves a wide range of readers, including graduate and postgraduate students, scientists, researchers in various industrial and government institutes, and engineers working in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering. The volume covers diverse areas of applied mathematics, continuum mechanics, stress analysis, and mechanical design. This work treats a number of topics not presented in other books on thermal stresses, such as the theory of coupled and generalized thermoelasticity, the finite and boundary element method in generalized thermoelasticity, thermal stresses in functionally graded structures, and thermal expansions of piping systems.

The book starts from basic concepts and principles and develops them to more advanced levels as the text progresses. However, some basic knowledge on the part of the reader is expected in classical mechanics, stress analysis, and mathematics, including vector and cartesian tensor analysis.

This 2nd enhanced edition includes a new chapter on Thermally Induced Vibrations. The method of stiffness is added to Chapter 7. The variational principle for the Green-Lindsay and Green-Naghdi models has been added to Chapter 2, and equations of motion and compatibility equations in spherical coordinates have been added to Chapter 3. Additional problems at the end of chapters were added.
