PLANE DEFORMATION OF A BODY CONTAINING A RIBBON FUEL ELEMENT

We propose a new formulation and a method for the solution of the plane problems of stationary heat conduction and thermoelasticity for bodies containing thin ribbon inclusions under the conditions of plane deformation. Ribbon elements are modeled by a sheet of heat sources and the temperature field created by these sources is determined from the solutions of integral equations of the first kind. It is shown that the set of solutions of these equations always contains the classical solution specifying the root-singular distribution of the heat flows on the boundary of the region of heat release.
