Book excerpt: The publication of this volume, the first in a series, is a major event for those interested in Applied Mechanics in general and Thermal Stresses in particular. It is only about thirty years ago that the first books devoted exclusively to the subject of Thermal Stresses appeared in print. Since then, many advances have been made, both in theory and in applications. Modern requirements in design and construction of a multitude of products require the evaluation of stresses and displacements caused by the temperature fields which change in time and space. It is hoped that the state-of-the-art articles in this series will stimulate interest in this field of research and will also be of assistance to engineers in their everyday work.
