Abstract

In this study, a new Green’s function and a new Green-type integral formula for a 3D boundary value problem (BVP) in thermoelastostatics for a quarter-space are derived in closed form. On the boundary half-planes, twice mixed homogeneous mechanical boundary conditions are given. One boundary half-plane is free of loadings and the normal displacements and the tangential stresses are zero on the other one. The thermoelastic displacements are subjected by a heat source applied in the inner points of the quarter-space and by mixed non-homogeneous boundary heat conditions. On one of the boundary half-plane, the temperature is prescribed and the heat flux is given on the other one. When the thermoelastic Green’s function is derived, the thermoelastic displacements are generated by an inner unit point heat source, described by δ-Dirac’s function. All results are obtained in elementary functions that are formulated in a special theorem. As a particular case, when one of the boundary half-plane of the quarter-space is placed at infinity, we obtain the respective results for half-space. Exact solutions in elementary functions for two particular BVPs for a thermoelastic quarter-space and their graphical presentations are included. They demonstrate how to apply the obtained Green-type integral formula as well as the derived influence functions of an inner unit point body force on volume dilatation to solve particular BVPs of thermoelasticity. In addition, advantages of the obtained results and possibilities of the proposed method to derive new Green’s functions and new Green-type integral formulae not for quarter-space only, but also for any canonical Cartesian domain are also discussed.
