Transient heat conduction in homogeneous and non-homogeneous materials by the Laplace transform Galerkin boundary element method

TL;DR: In this paper, the Green's function for three-dimensional transient heat conduction (diffusion equation) for functionally graded materials (FGMs) is derived, and a Laplace transform (LT) approach is used to eliminate the dependence on time.

A method of solution for certain problems of transient heat conduction

TL;DR: In this paper, an exact integral formula defined on the boundary of an arbitrary body is obtained from a fundamental singular solu- tion to the governing differential equation, such that the Laplace transformed temperature field may subsequently be generated by a Green's type integral identity.
