The previous chapter dealt with steady-state, time-independent temperature distributions which induce stress in a body due, for example, to interruption of heat flow across a preexisting crack or to thermal expansion and/or conductivity mismatches across material interfaces. This chapter deals with problems where transient (time-dependent) temperature distributions induce stresses in a body and, in turn, how these stresses can cause cracking or interface delamination.
