Optimal control of the process of heat transmission between bodies in contact

Problems of optimal fast-response control of the process of heat transmission between bodies in contact are considered under constraints on the thermoelastic stresses. Analytic expressions are obtained for the control function — the thermal contact resistance.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 35, No. 4, pp. 718–723, October, 1978.
