Two-dimensional interactions due to moving load in generalized thermoelastic solid with diffusion

The present paper is concerned with the investigation of disturbances in＇a homogeneous, isotropic elastic medium with generalized thermoelastic diffusion, when a moving source is acting along one of the co-ordinate axis on the boundary of the medium. Eigen value approach is applied to study the disturbance in Laplace-Fourier transform domain for a two dimensional problem. The analytical expressions for displacement components, stresses, temperature field, concentration and chemical potential are obtained in the physical domain by using a numerical technique for the inversion of Laplace transform based on Fourier expansion techniques. These expressions are calculated numerically for a copper like material and depicted graphically. As special cases, the results in generalized thermoelastic and elastic media are obtained. Effect of presence of diffusion is analyzed theoretically and numerically.     

A half-space problem in the theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion

In this work we consider the problem of a thermoelastic half-space with a permeating substance in contact with the bounding plane in the context of the theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time.

Thermomagnetic effect with microtemperature in a semiconducting photothermal excitation medium

The main goal of this paper is to focus on the investigation of interaction between a magnetic field and elastic materials with microstructure, whose microelements possess microtemperatures with photothermal excitation. The elastic-photothermal problem in one-dimension is solved by introducing photothermal excitation at the free surface of a semi-infinite semiconducting medium (semiconductor rod). The integral transform technique is used to solve the governing equations of the problem under the effect of the microtemperature field. The analytical expressions for some physical quantities in the physical domain are obtained with the heating boundary surface and free traction. The numerical inversion technique is used to obtain the resulting quantities in the physical domain. The obtained numerical results with some comparisons are discussed and shown graphically.     

Wave propagation at the boundary surface of elastic and initially stressed viscothermoelastic diffusion with voids media

The present investigation is concerned with the wave propagation at the boundary surface of elastic half-space and initially stressed viscothermoelastic diffusion with voids half-space. The longitudinal and transverse waves are incident obliquely at the plane interface between uniform elastic half-space and initially stressed viscothermoelastic diffusion with voids half-space. It is found that the amplitude ratios of various reflected and transmitted waves are functions of angle of incidence, frequency of incident wave and are influenced by the initial stress, diffusion, voids, elastic and viscoelastic properties of media. The expressions of amplitude ratios and energy ratios are obtained in closed form and computed numerically for a specific model. The variations of energy ratios with angle of incidence are shown graphically. The conservation of energy at the interface is verified.

Generalized thermoelastic functionally graded solid with a periodically varying heat source

This paper deals with the problem of thermoelastic interactions in a functionally graded isotropic unbounded medium due to the presence of periodically varying heat sources in the context of the linear theory of generalized thermoelasticity without energy dissipation (TEWOED). The governing equations of generalized thermoelasticity without energy dissipation (GN model type II) for a functionally graded materials (FGM) (i.e. material with spatially varying material properties)are established. The governing equations are expressed in Laplace–Fourier double transform domain and solved in that domain. Now, the inversion of the Fourier transform is carried out by using residual calculus, where poles of the integrand is obtained numerically in complex domain by using Laguerre’s method and the inversion of Laplace transform is done numerically using a method based on Fourier series expansion technique. The numerical estimates of the displacement, temperature, stress and strain are obtained for a hypothetical material. The solution to the analogous problem for homogeneous isotropic material is obtained by taking nonhomogeneity parameter suitably. Finally the results obtained are presented graphically to show the effect of nonhomogeneity on displacement, temperature, stress and strain.

A general formula for the drag on a sphere placed in a creeping unsteady micropolar fluid flow

In the present work, we investigate the creeping unsteady motion of an infinite micropolar fluid flow past a fixed sphere. The technique of Laplace transform is used. The drag formula is obtained in the physical domain analytically by using the complex inversion formula of the Laplace transform. The well known formula of Basset for the drag on a sphere placed in an unsteady viscous fluid flow and that of Ramkissoon and Majumdar for steady motion in the case of micropolar fluids are recovered as special cases. The obtained formula is employed to calculate the drag force for some micropolar fluid flows. Numerical results are obtained and represented graphically.     

Soret and Dufour effects on heat and mass transfer by mixed convection over a vertical surface saturated porous medium with temperature dependent viscosity

The diffusion‐thermo and thermal‐diffusion effects on heat and mass transfer by mixed convection boundary layer flow over a vertical isothermal permeable surface embedded in a porous medium were studied numerically in the presence of chemical reaction with temperature‐dependent viscosity. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a set of coupled ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically by using Runge–Kutta method with shooting technique. Numerical results are obtained for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions, and the local skin friction coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number for several values of the parameters, namely, the variable viscosity parameter, suction/injection parameter, Darcy number, chemical reaction parameter, and Dufour and Soret numbers. The obtained results are presented graphically and in tabulated form, and the physical aspects of the problem are discussed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The maximal Lyapunov exponent of a co-dimension two-bifurcation system excited by a bounded noise

In the present paper,the maximal Lyapunov exponent is investigated for a co-dimension two bifurcation system that is on a three-dimensional central manifold and subjected to parametric excitation by a bounded noise.By using a perturbation method,the expressions of the invariant measure of a one-dimensional phase diffusion process are obtained for three cases,in which different forms of the matrix B,that is included in the noise excitation term,are assumed and then,as a result,all the three kinds of singular boundaries for one-dimensional phase diffusion process are analyzed.Via Monte-Carlo simulation,we find that the analytical expressions of the invariant measures meet well the numerical ones.And furthermore,the P-bifurcation behaviors are investigated for the one-dimensional phase diffusion process.Finally,for the three cases of singular boundaries for one-dimensional phase diffusion process,analytical expressions of the maximal Lyapunov exponent are presented for the stochastic bifurcation system.

Fractional-order generalized thermoelastic diffusion theory

The present work aims to establish a fractional-order generalized themoelastic diffusion theory for anisotropic and linearly thermoelastic diffusive media. To numerically handle the multi-physics problems expressed by a sequence of incomplete differential equations, particularly by a fractional equation, a generalized variational principle is obtained for the unified theory using a semi-inverse method. In numerical implementation, the dynamic response of a semi-infinite medium with one end subjected to a thermal shock and a chemical potential shock is investigated using the Laplace transform. Numerical results, i.e., non-dimensional temperature, chemical potential, and displacement, are presented graphically. The influence of the fractional order parameter on them is evaluated and discussed.
