Abstract: A thermo‐elastic problem is analyzed for an infinite plate with a kinked crack, which occurs from an end of a linear initial crack. The plate is subjected to a uniform heat flow in an arbitrary direction. The rational ...

Abstract: A propatgation direction of a kinked crack in an infinite plate is investigated for heat flux in an arbitrary direction. Criteria based on a stress state before the occurrence of a kinked crack, i.e., the maximum circumferential ...
