“…In the following analysis, the assumption of temperature‐independent elastic constants is adopted. By combining the equilibrium equations, compatibility equations, thermoelastic stress‐strain relationship, one can easily obtain the governing equations in terms of Airy stress function U as . Thus, one has from Equation that where μ is the shear modulus and with , and being the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and thermal expansion coefficient, respectively.…”
