This paper is concerned with a transient thermal stress analysis of two-dimensional plane problems with orthotropic material properties under consideration of the effect of a heated moving boundary. In the theoretical development, a semi-infinite strip is treated. Assuming that the heated edge of a strip kept to a constant temperature moves with a constant velocity as a result of melting or freezing or freezing or some thermal and mechanical workings, temperature distributions are analyzed with aid of a moving coordinate system. Thereafter, the associate stress distributions are developed using with the Airy's stress function method. As an illustration, assuming that the heated boundary moves with a constant velocity, numerical calculations are carried out for several values of the anisotropic parameters of thermal and mechanical properties. These effects for the temperature and the associated stress distributions are examined.
