Based on the method of functions of complex variables, this study investigated the two-dimensional fracture mechanics problem of thermoelectric materials with pentagram holes in the boundary conditions of electrical insulation and thermal accuracy. The analytical expressions of the electric field potential function, temperature field potential function, and elastic field potential function were obtained by adopting conformal mapping. On this basis, the real-form expressions of the circumferential energy flow and circumferential stress components were obtained. Meanwhile, this paper discussed the effects of air thermal conductivity and the size of pentagram holes on the circumferential energy flow and circumferential stress components without the action of external electric fields.
