Figure 8

Nondimensional axial stress distribution, through the plate thickness, for steady state thermo-mechanical loads: (a) neglecting actual neutral plane position. (b) Considering the location of the neutral plane position (*nondimensional axial stress , *nondimensional coordinate across the thickness ).
