Description :
This paper considers a transient thermoelastic problem in an isotropic homogeneous elastic plate subjected to thermal load within the fractional-order theory framework during analysis. The uniform-type surface temperature is on the plate's top face, while the bottom face is kept at zero. In order to solve the basic governing equations, an integral transformation was taken into consideration. The thermoelastic behaviours in a plate with an edge crack are investigated. With this solution, the stress intensity factors at the crack tip are numerically calculated through the weight function method. The results are illustrated by numerical calculations considering the material to be an aluminium-like medium and presented graphically.
