Abstract
In this paper the sources of non-adiabatic behaviour in standard thermoelastic stress analysis are identified. Previous work on non-adiabatic effects is critically reviewed in the context of the practitioner of thermoelastic stress analysis, and from this a hierarchical relationship between stress gradients, material and loading frequencies is developed. These three effects are studied in turn, and the use of paint coatings is identified as the major cause of non-adiabatic behaviour.
