The temperature oscillations in thermal layer of regular solids, caused by periodic oscillations of the ambient temperature and heat transfer coefficient, are analysed. A halfspace, a plate, a space with cylindrical channel, a cylinder, a space with spherical cavity are considered as solids. Exact solutions of the corresponding cyclic problems of heat conduction in the complex and real forms of trigonometric Fourier series are obtained. Methods of simplified solution of heat conduction problem based on boundary condition modification are considered. Comparison of exact solutions with approximate ones is carried out and the admissibility of the proposed approximate solutions is shown.
