The thermoelastic problem for a halfspace with a semiinfinite elastic thermal insulator

Abstract

Numerical conditions are given in an infinite and semiinfinite plate (heat insulator), which is connected by a vertical two-sided connection only with an elastic halfspace, in the interior of which is a concentrated source of heat, which generates a stationary heat field. The problem is reduced to the solution of an integral-differential equation of the Wiener-Hopf type with respect to the Fourier transform of the contact stress. Its exact solution is constructed using the factorization method, and the final solution is represented by a series with respect to Chebyshev-Laguerre polynomials. Calculations of bending moments and transverse forces are given in an infinite plate, semiinfinite, and infinite beam-rolling plates.
