Summary
The aim of this work is to investigate the thermal stress intensity factor of a functionally gradient half space with an edge crack under a steady heat flux. All material properties of the functionally gradient half space, except for the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, are exponentially dependent on the distance from the boundary of the plate. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion is assumed to be two-dimensionally dependent. The problem is reduced to a singular integral equation by using the Fourier transform. The thermal stress intensity factor versus the nonhomogeneous material parameters is calculated and represented in figures. The numerical results show that thermal stress intensity factor is dramatically decreased when the material nonhomogeneous parameters are appropriately selected.
