Stress concentration around an arbitrarily-shaped hole in nonlinear fully coupled thermoelectric materials

Vol. 14 (2019), No. 2, 259–276
Abstract

Using the complex variable method, we study the plane problem of an infinite thermoelectric material containing an arbitrarily-shaped hole under a uniform remote electric current and a uniform energy flux. The nonlinear fully coupled thermoelectric constitutive equations are used to account for the large current or temperature gradient imposed on thermoelectric materials during their engineering service. The hole surface is assumed to be electrically and thermally insulated and mechanically free. The shape of the hole is defined by a polynomial conformal mapping. Fourier expansion technique is used to solve the corresponding boundary value problems. A triangular hole is considered for the purpose of illustration. The bluntness, hole orientation and the load angle as important parameters are considered. Numerical results show that the effects of these parameters on stress distribution around the hole are very significant. By the correct selection of these parameters, the lowest thermal stress concentration can be achieved.
