N2 - The problem of a rigid inclusion in an elastic strip under steady or transient thermal loading is studied. The inclusion is assumed to be extremely thin and thermally insulated so that it does not disturb the heat conduction in the strip. The thermal strain and stress fields are obtained by using the singular integral equation technique. The inclusion tip strain and stress are found to be singular. The near tip stresses are expressed in terms of the thermal strain intensity factor. Case studies include the influence of temperature boundary condition, inclusion location and strip width on the thermal strain intensity factor. The highest and lowest values (upper and lower bounds) of the intensity of the thermal strain are identified.
