Using the hyperbolic heat conduction model, thermal stresses generated with
in a rapidly heated thin metal plate are investigated numerically. The effe
cts of different parameters such as the form, duration, amplitude, and pene
tration depth of the heating source on the temperature, thermal moment, def
lection, and thermal stresses are studied. It is found that under ultra-fas
t heating of very thin plates, the hyperbolic heat conduction model must be
adopted to model the thermal behavior.
