Abstract
Data generated while heating several cross-ply graphiteepoxy tubes on one side, along their lengths, and cooling them on the other side are presented. This heating arrangement produces a circumferential temperature gradient, and the data show that the gradient can be represented by a cosinusoidal temperature distribution. The thermally induced bending deflections caused by the temperature gradient are also presented.
