Investigating the temperature field distribution over transport structures' metal corrugated construction surface under temperature influences

Abstract

The experimental studies results of temperature distribution over metal corrugated sheet structure surface at positive and negative ambient temperatures are presented. It is established that the temperature is distributed unevenly over the sheet surface along its plane. An analytical method for calculating the temperature field from a fragment of a structure metal sheet in the case of setting the temperature at the sheet area boundaries is presented. The calculation of the temperature field distribution on the metal sheet of the structure with the setting of the temperature along the contour of the sheet is performed. As a result, it is established that at the metal sheet boundaries there is a temperature difference, which can cause the occurrence of temperature stresses and deformations.
