โฆ Synopsis
Thermal shock stress intensity factor for an edge-cracked plate subjected to thermal shock is obtained from Bueckner's weight function method. It is shown that thermal shock stress intensity factor has maximum values with variation of time and crack length and that there is a critical crack length. By comparing thermal shock stress intensity factor with fracture toughness, the fracture time and critical temperature difference due to thermal shock are determined theoretically. Under constant thermal shock temperature difference, the increase of crack length is shown to increase fracture time.

A numerical technique for simple and efficient integration of weight functions is presented. The method enables the stress intensity factors to be calculated with the aid of a hand calculator for any non-linear stress distribution normal to the crack surfaces. The proposed integration routine is val
