A Green’s function for the computation of stress-intensity factors for edge cracks in rectangular plates is given for any distribution of stress in the uncracked plate which is tensile over the crack length. The function is used to compute stress intensity factors for transient thermal stresses produced by sudden cooling of one edge. Experimentally measured stresses and stress-intensity factors are given and shown to be in good agreement with the predicted values.

The concept of domain integral used extensively for J integral has been applied in this work for the formulation of J2 integral for linear elastic bimaterial body containing a crack at the interface and subjected to thermal loading. It is shown that, in the presence of thermal stresses, the Jk domain integral over a closed path, which does not enclose singularities, is a function of temperature and body force. A method is proposed to compute the stress intensity factors for bimaterial interface crack subjected to thermal loading by combining this domain integral with the Jk integral. The proposed method is validated by solving standard problems with known solutions.
