Abstract

In this paper, the general theory of a Cosserat surface given by Green, Naghdi and Wainwright(1), has been applied to the problem of a thermo-elastic Cosserat plate containing a circular hole of radius a. We assume that the major surfaces of the plate and the boundary of the hole are thermally insulated and that a uniform temperature gradient τ exists at infinity. In the limiting case, when h/a → 0, where h is the thickness of the plate, the thermal stresses at the circular hole reduce to those obtained by Florence and Goodier (4), by means of the classical plate theory. Results for the other limiting case h/a → ∞ are also given.
