Thermal stresses due to a uniform heat flow past a circular hole with a radial edge crack

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6039680
The problem solved here is that of finding the stresses in an isotropic, linear, thermoelastic solid when a uniform heat flow is disturbed by the presence of an insulated circular hole with a radial edge crack. By superimposing a Mellin-transform solution of the equations of thermoelasticity on a Michell series solution the author reduces the problem to a pair of singular integral equations which are then solved numerically. The stress-intensity factors and crack-formation energies, quantities of interest to workers in fracture mechanics, are then calculated.
