SOLUTION OF THE GENERALIZED PROBLEM OF THERMOELASTICITY IN THE FORM OF SERIES OF FUNCTIONS

In this work the fundamental problem of thermoelasticity for an infini te spherically symmetric space is solved using the method of potential s. The differential equations for the potential are solved using the o perational method together with the Laplace transform techniques to ob tain the solution in the form of an infinite series of functions. The solution obtained is valid for all times. Numerical computations for t he temperature and stress distributions are carried out and represente d graphically.
