Abstract
The elastostatic problem of a two dissimilar materials joint with arbitrary edge angles exposed to thermal loading is treated. Emphasis is placed on the investigation of the regular stress term, which is independent of the distance r, in the stress field near the singular point. The Mellin transform is used to calculate analytically the regular stress term. Numerical results of the regular stress term for special wedges (identical angle wedges) are included for all possible Dundurs parameters.
