SAINT-VENANT TYPE DECAY ESTIMATES FOR TRANSIENT HEAT CONDUCTION IN A COMPOSITE RIGID SEMISPACE
Józef Ignaczak · Journal of Thermal Stresses · 1998
The global and pointwise spatial decay estimates for a solution to the one-dimensional initial-boundary value problem of heat conduction in a composite rigid semispace are presented. Vie global estimates cover: (i) a transient heat conduction problem for an isotropic nonhomogeneous semispace with arbitrary variation with depth of the density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity; (ii) a transient heat conduction problem for an isotropic semispace made of a functionally graded material that composition changes from a ceramic surface at x = 0 to a metal semispacex≥.x0> 0; and (iii) a transient heat conduction problem for a microperiodic layered semispace. The pointwise spatial decay estimates are confined to homogenized transient heat conduction problems for a microperiodic layered semispace described by an effective modulus theory as well as by a refined averaged theory
