heat flux

Purpose. A two-dimensional mathematical model of the problem of thermo-elasticity for piecewise-homogeneous component plate containing a crack has been built. The stress intensity coefficients in the vertices of the crack increase affecting strength of the body significantly. This leads to the growth of a crack and, as a result, to further local destruction of a material. Therefore, such a model reflects, to some extent, the destruction mechanism of the elements of engineering structures with cracks.

Purpose. A mathematical model to determine the two-dimensional thermoelastic state in a semi-infinite solid weakened by an internal crack under conditions of local heating is examined. Heat flux due to frictional heating on the local area of the body causes changes in temperature and stresses in the body, which significantly affects its strength, as it can lead to crack growth and local destruction. Therefore, the study of the problem of frictional heat is of practical interest.

The two-dimensional stationary problems of heat conduction and  thermoelasticity for a semi-infinite elastic body containing an inclusion and a crack  are  considered.  For this purpose, mathematical models of these  two-dimensional problems in the form of a system of singular integral equations (SIEs) of the first and the second kinds are constructed.  The numerical solution of the system of integral equations in the case of a half plane  containing an inclusion and thermally insulated crack due to local heating by a heat flux is obtained using the method of mechanical quadratures.  We pre
