A general solution of the mixed boundary value problem with displacements and external forces given on the boundary is obtained for an infinite plate with a hole subjected to uniform heat flux. Complex stress functions, a rational mapping function, and the dislocation method are used for the analysis. The stress function is obtained in a closed form and the first derivative is given by such a form that does not contain the integral term. The mapping function is represented in the form of a sum of fractional expressions. A problem is solved for a crack initiating from a point of a circular hole on which the displacement is rigidly stiffened. Stress distributions and stress intensity factors are calculated.
