Abstract
In this paper, the transient interaction integral method (IEIM) is established to obtain the transient thermal stress intensity factors (TSIFs) in order to study the fracture problems of nonhomogeneous materials under thermal shock loading. The transient temperature field is evaluated by using the finite difference method and the finite element method. The TSIFs of nonhomogeneous materials with multiple cracks are analysed, then the mixed-mode TSIFs of nonhomogeneous materials with different positions are discussed. The results of this study have shown that the current approach is applicable to obtain fracture parameters of nonhomogeneous materials with multiple cracks efficiently, which can be used as a significant reference for the engineering application of nonhomogeneous materials.
