New closed-form thermoelastostatic Green function and Poisson-type integral formula for a quarter-plane

A new Green’s function and a new Poisson-type integral formula for a boundary value problem (BVP) in thermoelastostatics for a quarter-plane subject by mixed homogeneous mechanical boundary conditions are derived in this paper. The thermoelastic displacements are generated by a heat source, applied in the inner points of the quarter-plane and by temperature, prescribed on its boundary semi-straight-lines. All results, obtained in terms of elementary functions, are formulated in a special theorem. The first difficulty to obtain these results is in deriving the functions of influence of a unit concentrated force onto elastic volume dilatation Θ(k)Θ(k). The second difficulty is in calculating a volume integral of the product of function Θ(k)Θ(k) and Green’s function GG in heat conduction. A closed-form solution for a particular BVP of thermoelastostatics for a quarter-plane also is included. Using the proposed approach, it is possible to extend the obtained results not only for any canonical Cartesian domain, but also for any canonical orthogonal one.
