The materials parameters of the TEMs vary continuously in an arbitrary manner. To derive the solution, the TEMs is divided into several sub-layers with different material properties. The mixed boundary problem is reduced to a system of singular integral equations, which are solved numerically. The effect of strip width on the electric flux intensity factor and thermal flux intensity factor are studied.
