I need a good updated and detailed book or article describing the following :
When the temperature on the exterior side of a water tank differs from that on the interior, atemperature gradient will exist in the wall. A wall of circular water tank cannot expand or contract freely causing temperature induces stresses.The magnitude of this stresses are difficult to predict.
The temperature gradient in the wall will induce a hoop Force and a circumferential Moment.
I need a solution for this problem.i need a closed analysis of the moments and the forces acting on the cross section
