Abstract
In this paper, the interaction of multiple cracks in an infinite plate subjected to remote stress and heat flux is investigated. The problem is formulated as two sets of singular integral equations, corresponding to the heat flux problem and the stress problem, respectively. The equations for heat flux is first solved for the unknown temperature jump function, which later be used to solve for the crack opening displacement function in the heat stress equation. This method does not require a direct solution of the heat flux problem. Subsequently, the stress intensity factors for various double-crack configurations are computed and presented.
期刊介绍:
Since 1965, the international journal Acta Mechanica has been among the leading journals in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. In addition to the classical fields such as elasticity, plasticity, vibrations, rigid body dynamics, hydrodynamics, and gasdynamics, it also gives special attention to recently developed areas such as non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, micro/nano mechanics, smart materials and structures, and issues at the interface of mechanics and materials. The journal further publishes papers in such related fields as rheology, thermodynamics, and electromagnetic interactions with fluids and solids. In addition, articles in applied mathematics dealing with significant mechanics problems are also welcome.
