TWO-DIMENSIONAL MIXED PROBLEM OF THERMOELASTICITY FOR A SEMISTRIP

摘要

We study the stress state of a semistrip with conditions of smooth contact imposed on one of its lateral surfaces and coupling conditions given on the other surface under the action of normal loading and temperature on the end face. The original problem is reduced to a one-dimensional vector boundary-value problem by the method of integral transformations. By using the tools of matrix differential calculus and Green matrix function, we reduce the obtained problem to a singular integral equation for the derivative of displacements on the end face of the semistrip and solve this equation by the method of orthogonal polynomials. We perform the numerical analysis of fields of displacements and stresses inside the semistrip and establish the zones of tensile stresses on the lateral face of the semistrip and the conditions of their formation.
