The axisymmetric Boussinesq-type problem for a half-space under optimal heating of arbitrary profile

A solution of the axisymmetric Boussinesq-type problem is derived for transient thermal stresses in a half-space under heating by using the Laplace and Hankel transforms. An analytical method is developed to predict the temperature field that satisfies the prescribed mechanical conditions. Several s...
