fractional thermoelasticity mode-l of a 2d problem of modei crack in a fibre-reinforced thermal environment

A model of fractional-order of thermoelasticity is applied to study a 2d problem of mode-i crack in a fibre-reinforced thermal environment. the crack is under prescribed distributions of heat and pressure. the normal mode analysis is applied to deduce exact formulae for displacements, stresses, and temperature. variations of field quantities with the axial direction are illustrated graphically. the results regarding the presence and absence of fiber reinforcement and fractional parameters are compared. some particular cases are also investigated via the generalized thermoelastic theory. the presented results can be applied to design different fibre-reinforced isotropic thermoelastic elements subjected to the thermal load in order to meet special technical requirements.
