Abstract
In this paper a sub-regional boundary element formulation is proposed for the treatment of general two-dimensional steady-state and time-dependent thermoelastic crack closure problems considering friction and thermal resistance along the crack faces. These problems are solved by an incremental-iterative scheme since the extent and the status of the contact zone are not known in advance. The assumption of pressure-dependent thermal contact increases the degree of non-linearity and couples the thermal and mechanical fields. The present work is focused on fracture problems situated on the interface of dissimilar isotropic solids under combined mechanical and thermal loads.
