THEORETICAL JUSTIFICATION OF VENTCEL'S BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR A THIN LAYER THREE-DIMENSIONAL THERMOELASTICITY PROBLEM.

In this paper, we consider a model of linear thermoelasticity for an elastic threedimensional body with high thermal conductivity covered by a thin layer on one of its faces. We show that Ventcel's boundary conditions may be obtained, as the thickness of the rigid body goes to zero. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
