A boundary-domain element method based on boundary-domain integral representations is developed. The Laplace-transform technique is utilized to eliminate the dependence on time. Laplace-transformed fundamental solutions of linear coupled thermoelasticity for isotropic, homogeneous and linear elastic solids are applied to derive boundary-domain integral equations. The numerical implementation is performed by using a collocation method for the spatial discretization. The time-dependent numerical solutions are obtained by the Stehfest's inversion algorithm. For an edge crack in a finite domain under thermal shock, the dynamic stress intensity factors are presented and discussed.}, DOI = {10.3970/sdhm.2010.006.329} }
