1. Introduction Fundamental solutions or Green’s functions play an important role in both applied and theoretical studies on the physics of solids. They are foundations of a lot of further works. For example, fundamental solutions can be used to construct many analytical solutions of practical problems when boundary conditions are imposed. They are essential in the boundary element method as well as the study of cracks, defects and inclusions. For isotropic materials, there is well-known closed-form Kelvin Green’s function [1]. For transversely isotropic materials, Lifshitz and Rozentsveig [2] and Lejcek [3] presented the Green’s functions using the Fourier transform method. Elliott [4], Kroner [5] and Willis [6] obtained the Green’s functions using the direct method. Sveklo [7] obtained Green’s functions using the complex method. Pan and Chou [8] and Ding et al. [9] presented the Green’s function in form of compact elementary functions. For anisotropic materials, Pan and Yuan [10] and Pan [11] obtained the three-dimensional Green’s functions for bimaterials with perfect and imperfect interfaces, respectively. The thermal effects are not considered in all above works. Sharma [12] gave the fundamental solution of transversely isotropic thermoelastic materials in an integral form. Yu et al. [13] gave the Green’s function for a point heat source in two-phase isotropic thermoelastic materials. Chen et al. [14] derived a compact 3D general solution for transversely isotropic thermoelastic materials. In this general solution, all components of thermoelastic field are expressed by three harmonic functions. In this paper, 2D Green’s functions for a steady point heat source in a semi-infinite orthotropic thermoelastic plane is investigated. For this object, the 2D general solution, which is parallel to 3D general solution of Chen et al. [14], is presented in Section 2. In Section 3, three new suitable harmonic functions are constructed in form of elementary functions with undetermined constants by the method of trial-and-error. The corresponding coupled field can be obtained by substituting these functions into the general solution, and the undetermined constants can be obtained by the continuous conditions on plane

Finally, the paper is concluded in Section 5. 2. 2D General solution for orthotropic thermoelastic material The 3D equations of orthotropic thermoelastic materials can be found in Kumara and Singh. [15]. If all components are independent of coordinate y, one can have the so-called plane problem. The constitutive equations in 2D Cartesian coordinates (x, z) can be simplified as ou ow þ c13  k11 h; ox oz ou ow þ c33  k33 h; rz ¼ c13 ox oz   ou ow szx ¼ c44 þ ; oz ox rx ¼ c11

where u and w are components of the mechanical displacement in x and z directions, respectively; rij are the components of stress; h is temperature increment, respectively; cij and kii are elastic constants and thermal moduli, respectively.

Green’s functions for a point heat source in the interior of a semi-infinite orthotropic thermoelastic plane Consider a semi-infinite orthotropic thermoelastic plane z P 0 (Fig. 1). A point heat source of strength H is applied at the point (0, h) in 2D Cartesian coordinate (x, z). The surface (z = 0) is free and thermally insulated. Based on the general solution Eq. (3), the coupled field in the semi-infinite thermoelastic plane is derived in this section. The boundary conditions on the surface (z = 0) are in the form of rz ¼ szr ¼ 0;

Concerning the problems of point forces Px, Pz in x, z direction in semi-infinite orthotropic thermoelastic plane, because the foundational Eqs. (1) and (2) are single-direction coupling, i.e. the thermal loading can change elastic field, while on the contrary, the mechanical loading cannot change thermal field (h = 0), so the corresponding solutions under mechanical loading degenerate to those when thermal effects are not considered. The corresponding solutions are listed in Appendix. 4. Numerical results The contours of temperature increment and stress of coupled field in semi-infinite orthotropic thermoelastic plane induced by a point heat source of strength H are evaluated numerically and plotted in Figs. 2–5. The material properties listed in Table 1 are taken from hexagonal zinc [16]. In additions, the following non-dimensional components are used in figures: ri sij ; skl ¼ ; c33 ar T 0 c33 ar T 0 h x z ; n ¼ ; f ¼ ; ði; j ¼ x; z; k; l ¼ n; fÞ; #¼ T0 r1 r1

and here let d = 1 acted at (0, 1). On the basis of the contours plotted above, following conclusions can be drawn: (1) Fig. 2 shows that the contours of temperature increment #(h) for Hexagonal zinc are similar to normal circle. This is because the heat conduction coefficients b11 and b33 are equal for Hexagonal zinc (Table 1).

(2) Figs. 3–5 show that there is a zero common tangent for stresses rn(rx), rf(rz) and szx(sfn), respectively. They are positive above these zero common tangents and are negative on the other side. All stresses are singular at point (0, h/r1 = 1) at which the point heat source is located. This is an important contribution for Green’s functions. In some cases, Green’s functions are also called singular solutions. In additions, one can find that the grads of all stresses are very large near the point heat source, which should attract our attentions in practice. (3) Figs. 4 and 5 show that stresses rf(rz) and szx(sfn) tend to zero near the surface f = 0 and satisfy the boundary condition (7). We here give a interesting imagine that when h/r1 tend to larger and larger, the effect of boundary condition (7) on stresses in the vicinity of the load is less and the obtained solution near the load for semi-infinite plane will tend to the solution of infinite plane. So boundary condition (7) is one of the most important attribution factors for the distinctive features of the profiles in semi-infinite and infinite plane. 5. Conclusions By virtue of the compact 2D general solution of orthotropic thermoelastic materials, which is parallel to those of Chen et al. [14], three harmonic functions wj (j = 1, 2, 3) in Eq. (9) are constructed and the corresponding coupled field for a point heat source acted in the interior of a semi-infinite orthotropic thermoelastic plane is obtained. For the sake of concise expressions and convenient derivations, point heat source is loaded at z axis in this paper. The solution in case of point heat source loaded at arbitrary point can be easily generalized from the obtained solution by coordination parallel transform. Because all the components are expressed in terms of elementary functions, it is convenient to use them. Typical numerical examples are presented. All these show that the general solution of Chen et al. [14] is an important foundation for the studies of steady problems thermoelastic materials. It should be noted that the obtained Green’s functions are valid for distinct eigenvalues sj (j = 1, 2, 3), which is the most common case for 2D problems of orthotropic materials. The general solutions and Green’s functions for cases of multiple eigenvalues, such as s1 – s2 = s3 and s1 = s2 = s3 are different from those in this paper. So the cor-

responding solutions for isotropic material with s1 = s2 = s3 = 1 cannot be obtained by direct degeneration from the obtained solutions.
