Abstract
The analogy used to solve some thermoelastic problems is extended to include a region with an eccentric hole. The relation is shown to be a little more complicated in this case than in the one for the concentric hole. Three bending tests of an analogous thin plate are required. As an experimental proof, an eccentric circular region is considered and mental proof, an eccentric circular region is considered and the analogous thin plate is prepared. The heat-conduction equation is first solved to give the required temperature terms. The measured strains on the plate and the coefficients specified from the transverse loads and moments applied to the plate are combined effectively to get the estimated thermal stress. The experimentally estimated thermal stress of the region and the numerical result are shown to be in agreement.
