Abstract

This paper addresses problem of two collinear cracks in an infinity orthotropic solid subject to combined thermal and mechanical loads. Based on a model called ' improved partially conductive crack model', the Fourier transform and superposition theorem, the analytical solutions to some physical quantities and fracture parameters are given. It is revealed that the dimensionless thermal resistance (Rc) between the upper and below crack regions and the proposed coefficient (ε) exert a great influence on some physical quantities and fracture parameters, i.e., the mode-II stress intensity factors (KII) by numerical results.
