	%X In this paper, the thermo-electro-structural coupledfield
in a cracked metal plate is studied using the finite element
analysis. From the computational results, the compressive stresses
reveal near the crack tip. This conclusion agrees with the past
reference. Furthermore, the compressive condition can retard and stop
the crack growth during the Joule heating process.
