The Thermal-Stresses and Displacements in a 2-Dimensional Convective Half-Space for a Moving Heat-Source
A solution of a quasi-steady thermoelastic problem for the elastic convective half-space when a heat source with constant power is moving on its surface is obtained. The method of Fourier transformation is used for obtaining an analytical expansions for the temperature, the thermal stresses and the displacements. An asymptotic formula for finding the normal displacements of the half-space boundary is constructed. Numerical results are presented in the form of figures for the temperature and the normal displacements.
