Stress field due to a Cylindrical Inclusion in a Thermoelastic Half-Space

摘要

In this paper, the closed form analytical expressions for the stress field due to a cylindrical inclusion in a thermoelastic half-space are obtained. These expressions are derived in the context of steady-state uncoupled thermoelasticity using thermoelastic displacement potential functions. The thermal stress field is generated due to differences in the coefficients of linear thermal expansion between a subregion and the surrounding material. The variation of stress field is also shown graphically.
