Solving Nonlinear Problems of Heat Conduction in Layered Composites by the Boundary Element Method.

The paper deals with the development of algorithms for solving nonlinear problems of heat conduction in bodies consisting of layered metal composites. The nonlinearity of the problems is governed by the temperature dependence of the heat conductivity coefficients of the composite layer materials. Mathematical models and solution algorithms based on the boundary element method have been constructed for one-dimensional cases of heat distribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
