Singularity analysis for 2D and 3D thermoelastic media containing V-notches

The stress field and heat flux singularities at the vertex of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) V-notches are, respectively, investigated. By introducing typical terms in the series asymptotic expansions of displacement and temperature fields near the notch tip, the thermoelastic governing equations and radial boundary conditions of a V-notched structure are transformed into characteristic ordinary differential equations with...
