On the Thermal Stresses Due to a Uniform Heat Flow Past a Circular Hole With a Radial Edge Crack

<p>The problem solved in this dissertation is that of finding the stresses in an isotropic, linear, thermoelastic solid when a uniform heat flow is disturbed by the presence of an insulated circular hole with a radial edge crack. By superimposing a Mellin transform solution of the equations of thermoelasticity on a Michell series solution the author reduces the problem to a pair of singular integral equations which are then solved numerically. The stress intensity factors and crack formation energies, quantities of interest to workers in fracture mechanics, are then calculated.</p>
