In the framework of cracked plate tbermoelastic problems, the perturbation effects caused by the presence of a crack on thermal stresses, displacements and stress intensity factors in an isotropic linear elastic medium with varying crack surface heat conductivity under uniform heat flow are studied.

β¦ Synopsis
A stainless steel specimen with a pre-existing surface notch is exposed to a convective medium of cyclic temperature. The history of stress intensity factor of the cracked body for different crack lengths is obtained by a closed-form integration of the stress field, using Duhamel's theory with principle of superposition and appropriate weight functions. The obtained results are compared with numerical simulations performed with ABAQUS and they appear to be in very good agreement. The stress intensity factor history shows that fatigue behavior does not depend only on temperature amplitude DT ΒΌ T max Γ T min , quenching rate, and duration of thermal shock but also on heating rate and duration.

By means of the weight functions method stress intensity factors were calculated for axial semi-elliptical surface cracks in a pipe with cladding. The component is loaded by a thermoshock. Starting from a stress-free state the inner surface of the cladding is suddenly cooled down. The time-dependent
## Abstract Stress intensity factors were calculated for partly circumferential surface cracks at the outside of a pipe. The pipe is loaded by internal pressure and by thermal stresses. The weight functions method is used to calculate averaged weighted stress intensity factors at the deepest point
