Abstract

This paper deals with the stress singularity induced at the interface corner between the perfectly bonded thin layer and elastic substrate subjected to a uniform temperature change and a shear loading using realistic relaxation function. The thin layer is assumed to be a linear viscoelastic material. The time-domain boundary element method is used to investigate the behavior of stresses for the whole interface. Within the context of a linear viscoelastic theory, a stress singularity exists at the point where the interface between one of the elastic substrate and the viscoelastic thin layer intersects the free surface.
