“…It is clear that the adequacy of theoretical investigations of the thermoelastic behavior of these structural elements is strongly affected by neglecting inhomogeneities, including, in particular, their functionally graded nature (the presence of layers in elements) and the temperature dependences (thermal sensitivity) of physicomechanical characteristics (PMC) of materials. The analysis of the state of investigations of the thermomechanical behavior of bodies of this kind shows that taking into account the entire collection of important factors (including the geometry of body, inhomogeneity of its structure, thermal sensitivity of the PMC of materials, and thermal and force actions) leads to mathematical problems whose solution, even with the help of numerical methods, is connected with significant difficulties and requires specially developed algorithms or substantial adaptation of the existing procedures [2,4,5,12,13,15]. However, in the engineering practice, it is preferable to use relatively simple numerical-analytic relations and algorithms, which enable one to study the thermomechanical behavior of the object with predicted reliability.…”
