Abstract

AbstractA boundary element method for the transient thermoelastic fracture analysis in isotropic, continuously non‐homogeneous and linear elastic functionally graded materials subjected to a thermal shock is presented. The material parameters are assumed to be continuous functions of the Cartesian coordinates. Laplace‐domain fundamental solutions of linear coupled thermoelasticity for infinite, isotropic, homogeneous and linear elastic solids are applied to derive the boundary‐domain integral equation formulation. The numerical implementation is performed by using a collocation method for the spatial discretization. Numerical results for the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented and discussed.
