THERMAL STRESS PROBLEM FOR MIXED HEAT CONDUCTION BOUNDARY AROUND AN ARBITRARILY SHAPED HOLE WITH CRACK UNDER UNIFORM HEAT FLUX.

This article deals with a thermal stress problem for thermal conduction around an arbitrarily shaped hole with a crack under uniform heat flux. Two cases for the hole edge and the crack faces are assumed: adiabatic and isothermal conditions or vice versa (isothermal and adiabatic). A closed-form solution is obtained using conformal mapping, dislocation functions, and the complex variable method. Results of temperature, heat flux, stress, and stress intensity factor are illustrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
