Summary. The linear theory of thermoelasticity without energy dissipation is employed to study thermoelastic interactions due to a continuous line source of heat in a homogeneous and isotropic unbounded solid. Laplace and Hankel transforms are employed to solve the problem. Exact expressions, in closed form, for the temperature and stress fields are obtained. Numerical results for a hypothetical, copper-like material are presented with the view of illustrating the theoretical results.
