AbstractLeast squares smoothing is applied to thermal strain calculation. The smoothing procedure eliminates apparent errors in thermal stresses due to mismatch of thermal and mechanical strain orders which facilitates direct evaluation of results. General procedures are developed and demonstrated for two‐dimensional isoparametric elements. Examples serve to illustrate the effectiveness of the smoothing procedure.
