Abstract

The transient thermal stress edge crack problem for an elastic strip with free and fully constrained boundaries is considered. The plate is suddenly subjected to convective cooling on the face containing the edge crack while the other face is insulated. The solution of the problem is obtained by using the superposition technique results in a singular integral equation that is solved numerically. The results of the transient temperature and thermal stress distributions in the uncracked strip are presented. Also, numerical results are obtained for the stress-intensity factor in terms of the Fourier number, crack length, and different values of the Biot number.
