The regular stress term in bonded dissimilar materials after a change in temperature

Abstract The stresses near the free edge of the interface of a joint of dissimilar materials after a change of the temperature can be described as the sum of one or two singular terms and a regular term which is independent of the distance r and only dependent on the angle θ. A relation is given between the regular term, the Dundurs parameters and the geometry angles θ1, and θ2. For a combination of the elastic constants leading to a stress exponent ω = 0, the regular term approaches infinity.
