DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN METHOD FOR THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEM OF THERMOELASTICITY

The paper is focused on the mathematical and numerical approaches for the thermoelasticity problem in the three-dimensional domain. The mathematical description of considered problem is based on the second order differential equations of elasticity with the term describing thermal deformations. The numerical model uses the discontinuous Galerkin method which is widely used to solve the problems of hydrodynamics. The presented paper shows the possibility of using the mentioned method to solve the problem of thermomechanics.
