Abstract
In this study, we investigate thermal stress problem of a hollow circular truncated cone, which is simulated such as a body of space-plane and a tapered tube. First, the coordinate system and element for the analytical model is defined, and heat condition problem for the analytical model is considered. By applying the defined element, the analytical solution of temperature fields in a hollow circular truncated cone is obtained easily using analytical solutions of temperature field for cylindrical coordinate system. Example calculations for the temperature fields are carried out. Also, an analytical approach for thennoelastic stress analysis using the defined element and coordinate system in this study is discussed.
