Abstract: | An explicit static thermoelastic solution is constructed for an infinite transversely isotropic body containing a thermally
insulating parabolic crack in the plane of isotropy. The surface of the crack is free of stress. A uniform thermal flux is
incident on the crack perpendicular to its surface. Formulas are obtained for the stress intensity factors near the tip of
the crack.
