Hyperbolic Heat Conduction in a Cracked Thermoelastic Half-Plane Bonded to a Coating.

In this paper, the transient temperature field around a thermally insulated crack in a substrate bonded to a coating is obtained using the hyperbolic heat conduction model. Fourier and Laplace transforms are applied, and the thermal conduction problem is reduced to solving a singular integral equation. Numerical results show that the hyperbolic heat conduction parameters, the heat conductivity of the substrate and coating, and the geometric size of the composite have significant influence on the transient temperature field. In the case of very small time scales, the results predicted by the hyperbolic model are more conservative than that by the parabolic model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
