A contact problem on partial interaction of faces of a variable thickness slot

What is it about?

An effective scheme of analysis of a partially closed slot of variable thickness in the plane under the action of external tensile loads was suggested. Based on the obtained results we can consider that the temperature field created in the vicinity of the slot apex is a barrier on its propagation way. Account of the disturbed temperature field will amplify the braking efficiency of the induced temperature field of stresses.
