A Periodic Array of Parallel Edge Cracks in a Functionally Graded Plate Subjected to Finite Cooling Rates

摘要

This work investigates the effects of cooling rate on the thermal fracture behavior of a functionally graded plate (FGM plate) with a periodic array of parallel edge cracks of alternating lengths.The thermal properties of the FGM are assumed to be continuous and piecewise differentiable functions of the coordinate in the plate thickness direction.
