title: Thermal deformations of solid mirrors.
abstract: The tensor equations of elasticity including temperature terms in nonorthogonal coordinates are presented in a form suitable for the method of dynamic relaxation. A nonorthogonal coordinate system that includes a wide class of circular solid mirrors or lenses is described. The equations may be solved for any prescribed temperature distribution. Computed results are given for several cases.
