Abstract
The plane solution of thermal stresses for two materially dissimilar isotropic and anisotropic wedges, which are bonded together on one of their common faces, are treated within the theory of classical elastostatics. We use the Mellin transform method in conjuction with the Airy stress function representation of the plane elasticity solution. The asymptotic behavior of the stresses in the vicinity of the apex, for the dependence of the order of singularity and angular distribution on the wedge angle and material constants is investigated. Numerical results for the special wedge geometry, half-plane bonded to a quarter-plane, are studied in detail.
