A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF STATIONARY TWO-DIMENSIONAL THERMOELASTIC STATE MODELS IN HOMOGENEOUS AND PIECEWISE-HOMOGENEOUS BODIES WITH CRACKS
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.
