SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the stress-strain relations in thermo-elastic materials experiencing thermal shock with crack mode I propagation. The stress induced by thermal shock is calculated using the material's modulus, temperature change, and coefficient of thermal expansion. It is established that crack propagation occurs only if the stress exceeds the critical stress intensity factor K divided by 2.5 and the square root of the crack depth.
