| Summary: | The problem of thermoelastic edge-cracking in two-layered bimaterial systems subjected to convective
heating is considered. The medium is assumed to be insulated on one surface and exposed to sudden convective
heating on another surface containing the edge crack. It is known that, when a bimaterial system’s
surface is heated, compressive stresses arise near the heating surface, forcing the crack surfaces together
over a certain cusp-shaped contact length. It is also known that, for a cooled bimaterial systems surface,
tensile stresses take place close to the cooling surface and tend to open the crack. So, the edge cracked
heating surface problem is treated as an embedded crack with a smooth closure condition of the crack
surfaces, with the crack contact length being an additional unknown variable. Superposition and uncoupled
quasi-static thermoelasticity principles are adopted to formulate the problem. By using a Fourier
integral transform technique, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a Cauchy type singular
integral equation with an unknown function as the derivative of the crack surface displacement. The
numerical results of the stress intensity factors for an edge crack and a crack terminating at the interface,
are calculated and presented as a function of time, crack length, heat transfer coefficient, and thickness
ratio for two different bimaterial systems, namely a stainless steel layer welded on ferritic steel and a
ceramic layer coating on ferritic steel. |
