β¦ Synopsis
The line spring model with arbitrary distributed loads on crack surfaces is used to obtain the approximate solution for a surface-cracked plate subjected to thermal shock. The general formulation is finally reduced to two integral equations for net ligament stress and moment. Assuming that inertia effects and the temperature-dependence of thermoelastic constants are neglected, the transient thermal stresses in an untracked state can be obtained from uncoupled thermoelasticity. These stresses can be used as surface tractions for the calculations of stress intensity factors. Numerical results of the transient stress intensity factors for a semi-elliptical surface crack are tabulated for various values of Biot number, Fourier number and the crack depth-to-thickness ratio.

## Abstract Temperature and stress distributions in a hollow sphere are calculated, caused by a sudden cooling (thermal shock) of the inner surface of a hollow sphere. The thermal stresses are acting as load of surface cracks of approximate semiβelliptic shape. By means of the weight functions meth
The critical load for crack extension and the corresponding angle which the fracture path forms with the initial crack p~pa~tion direction of a cracked plate subjected to a concentrated load at an arbitrary point are determined. The strain energy density theory developed by Sih is used. Two differen
Stress intensity factors are calculated at the deepest point of partly circumferential surface cracks in a pipe loaded thermally and by internal pressure. The method of calculation is based on weight functions using the programm package "EASY" developed by Mattheck and Munz. Numerical values of the
