On the Universal Equation of Elasticity and the Universal Equation of Thermo-elasticity for Next-generation Aircrafts and Spacecrafts
Abstract: In the present investigation, the theories of “Relativistic Elasticity” and “Relativistic Thermo-Elasticity” are proposed for the design of the new-generation large aircraft with turbojet engines and speeds in the range of 50,000 km/h and for the new-generation spacecraft of any speed. Such theories show that there is a considerable difference between the absolute stress tensor and the stress tensor of the moving frames even in the range of speeds of …
