Abstract
A nonuniform thermal effect on the surface of an elliptic crack in a transversally isotropic medium is studied. Use is made of the previous result on the analogy between elastic and thermoelastic problems for an arbitrary smooth flat crack in isotropic and transversally isotropic materials. A numerical analysis is performed to study how the stress intensity factors depend on the parameters and orientation of the crack
