Abstract
A computationally efficient algorithm is presented for simulating the transient temperature in a body subjected to unidirectional sliding or oscillatory heat source along its boundary. The algorithm utilizes the combination of a finite element technique and a transfer matrix method. The method does not require direct simulation at each cycle and thus provides significant computation savings without the loss of accuracy. For a given system, the coefficient matrices are calculated only once and then applied to different sets of heat loads experienced by the same system. This method has application in manufacturing and tribological processes where the temperature rise due to surface heating must be taken into consideration. Illustrative examples are presented where a half space is subjected to a unidirectional sliding or oscillating heat source with consideration of convective cooling at the surface.
