The problem of stationary thermoelasticity for a piecewise homogeneous transversely isotropic space under the influence of a heat flux specified at infinity is considered

Abstract

An exact solution to the problem of thermoelasticity about interfacial circular inclusion, which is in complete adhesion with different transversely isotropic half-spaces, is constructed.Analytical dependencies are obtained between the parameters of the linear displacement of the inclusion and the characteristics of the force and temperature fields. The order of the singularity of surges and displacements near the inclusion is determined. Expressions are obtained for the stress intensity factor at the inclusion boundary, as well as the numerical dependences of these coefficients on the polar angle, temperature, and load.
