Résumé
L'effet de deux zones chaudes de diamètres différents sur les contraintes thermiques existant dans les régions restées froides de plaques de verre rectangulaires est investigué par la méthode des éléments finis. Comparés à ceux obtenus par une expression analytique approchée, les résultats sont trouvés consistants à 15% près. La simplicité de la solution analytique en fait un outil intéressant lors de la conception de panneaux de verre destinés à être chauffés de façon non uniforme. L'expression est aussi utile pour évaluer la probabilité de fracture thermique en comparant les niveaux de contraintes des régions situées entre deux zones chaudes à ceux des bords de la plaque.


Abstract
The interaction of two unequal circular hot zones on thermal stresses in the remaining cold region of rectangular glass panels is examined via finite element analysis. The results are then compared with those given by an approximate analytical solution. The FEM and analytical solutions agree to within 15%. The simplicity of the analytical solution, however, makes it a useful screening tool during the design phase of nonuniformly heated glass panels. The solution is also useful for assessing the probability of thermal fracture by comparing stresses in the region between the hot zones with those at the edge of the panel.





What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
