Analysis of Thermoelastic Problem of Isotropic Elastic Plate with Circular or Elliptical Hole under Steady-State Point Heat Source

In this paper, the problem of an infinite plate containing a circular or elliptical hole under a steady-state point heat source is considered. The analysis is based on the complex variable method using a conformal mapping technique. Stress and displacement fields are obtained as a closed-form solution under the condition of a point heat source applied at an arbitrary point. Several numerical examples are shown in graphical representations.
