Abstract

ABSTRACTGreen's function is derived for the bending problem of an infinite thin plate with an elliptic hole under a bending heat source. Then the interaction problem between an elliptic hole and a crack in a thin plate under uniform bending heat flux is analyzed. First, the complex variable method is developed for the thermoelastic problem of bending. Then an exact solution in explicit form is derived for the Green's function by using the complex variable method. Distributions of temperature moment, heat flux moments, bending moments along the hole edge are shown in figures. For solving the interaction problem, a solution for an infinite thin plate with an adiabatic elliptic hole under uniform bending heat flux, and two Green's functions of the plate under a bending heat source couple and a bending dislocation are given. The interaction problem then reduces into singular integral equations using the Green's functions and the principle of superposition. After the equations are solved numerically, the moment intensity factors at crack tips are presented in the figures.
