The conservative M-integral for thermal-elastic problems
by Banks-Sills, Leslie; Dolev, Orly
In this investigation, the conservative M-integral is extended to treat thermal-elastic, mixed mode problems. With it, stress intensity factors are obtained for cracks in homogeneous, isotropic materials, as well as isotropic and anisotropic, bimaterials. Excellent agreement is found between results determined in this study and those found in the literature. In addition, new results are obtained for interface cracks for a wide range of material properties and for a delamination in a composite material.
