Reflection of magneto-thermoelastic waves with two relaxation times and temperature dependent elastic moduli

The model of the equations of generalized magneto-thermoelasticity with two relaxation times in an isotropic elastic medium under the effect of reference temperature on the modulus of elasticity is established. The modulus of elasticity is taken as a linear function of reference temperature. Reflection of magneto-thermoelastic waves under generalized thermoelasticity theory is employed to study the reflection of plane harmonic waves from a semi-infinite elastic solid in a vacuum. The expressions for the reflection coefficients, which are the relations of the amplitudes of the reflected waves to the amplitude of the incident waves, are obtained. Similarly, the reflection coefficients ratios variations with the angle of incident under different conditions are shown graphically. A comparison is made with the results predicted by the coupled theory and with the case where the modulus of elasticity is independent of temperature.     

Generalized thermoelasticity with temperature dependent modulus of elasticity under three theories

A new model of generalized thermoelasticity equations for isotropic media with temperature-dependent mechanical properties is established. The modulus of elasticity is taken as a linear function of reference temperature. The present model is described both generalizations, Lord-Shulman (L-S) theory with one relaxation time and Green-Lindsay (G-L) with two relaxation times, as well as the coupled theory, instantaneously. The method of the matrix exponential, which constitutes the basis of the state space approach of modern control theory, applied to two-dimensional equations. Laplace and Fourier integral transforms are used. The resulting formulation is applied to a problem of a thick plate subject to heating on parts of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate that varies exponentially with time. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the problem considered. A comparison was made with the results obtained in case of temperature-independent modulus of elasticity in each theory.

Reflection and refraction of P-, SV- and thermal wave,at an initially stressed solid–liquid interface in generalized thermoelasticity

We have investigated the problem of reflection and refraction of thermoelastic wave at a solid–liquid interface in presence of initial stress. Using the theory of generalized thermoelasticity the problem has been solved in the context of various linear theories of thermoelasticity namely Lord–Shulmon, Green–Lindsay and coupled thermoelasticity. The appropriate expressions to find the amplitude ratios for all the three cases of P-wave incidence, SV-wave incidence and thermal wave incidence have been developed. However the ratios of amplitudes of reflected and refracted waves to that of incident wave are computed numerically for earth’s crust-water interface, for incident P-wave only, considering the initial stress to be tensile as well as compressional both. The results obtained are discussed and compared in the three models of thermoelasticity. The variations of the amplitude ratios with initial stress in G–L model have also been shown.     

State-space approach for an infinite medium with a spherical cavity based upon two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory and fractional heat conduction

This paper is concerned with the determination of the thermoelastic displacement, stress, conductive temperature, and thermodynamic temperature in an infinite isotropic elastic body with a spherical cavity. A general solution to the problem based on the two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory (2TT) is introduced. The theory of thermal stresses based on the heat conduction equation with Caputo’s time-fractional derivative of order α is used. Some special cases of coupled thermoelasticity and generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time are obtained. The general solution is provided by using Laplace’s transform and state-space techniques. It is applied to a specific problem when the boundary of the cavity is subjected to thermomechanical loading (thermal shock). Some numerical analyses are carried out using Fourier’s series expansion techniques. The computed results for thermoelastic stresses, conductive temperature, and thermodynamic temperature are shown graphically and the effects of two-temperature and fractional-order parameters are discussed.     

Influence of the mechanical properties of a cylinder on the temperature stresses with allowance for the edge effect

The volume state of stress of a hollow homogeneous cylinder with temperature varying along the radius is analyzed for various values of Poisson's ratio, which in polymers may fluctuate over a wide range. The stresses in a cylinder of polymeric material, calculated with and without allowance for the temperature dependence of the modulus of elasticity for the same loading conditions, are subjected to a comparative analysis. Numerical results are obtained on the basis of a solution of the axisymmetric three-dimensional problem of thermoelasticity for an inhomogeneous cylinder using a collocation method.Moscow.

Two-dimensional problem of a two-temperature generalized thermoelastic half-space subjected to ramp-type heating

In this work, we will consider a half-space filled with an elastic material, which has constant elastic parameters. The governing equations are taken in the context of the theory of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity. A linear temperature ramping function is used to more realistically model thermal loading of the half-space surface. The medium is assumed initially quiescent. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used to obtain the general solution for any set of boundary conditions. The general solution obtained is applied to a specific problem of a half-space subjected to ramp-type heating. The inverse Fourier transforms are obtained analytically while the inverse Laplace transforms are computed numerically using a method based on Fourier expansion techniques. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effect of the ramping parameter of heating.     

Thermoelasticity of a regularly inhomogeneous curved layer with wavy surfaces

A curved inhomogeneous anisotropic layer of variable thickness is considered that has wavy surfaces. It is assumed that the elastic, thermo-physical characteristics of the layer material and the shape of its upper and lower surfaces are periodic in structure with a single periodicity cell (PC). The period of the structure is here comparable in magnitude with the layer thickness, which is assumed to be much less than the other linear dimensions of the body and the radius of curvature of its middle surface.On the basis of a general scheme for taking the average of processes in periodic media /1, 2/, a method is developed which enables a transition to be made from a spatial quasistatic thermoelasticity problem to a system of thermoelasticity equations for an average shell whose effective and thermophysical coefficients are determined from the solution of local problems in a PC. Results obtained for the static theory of elasticity in /3/ are used. The heat conduction problem is averaged to determine the temperature components occurring in the equation of motion.The model constructed enables thermoelastic strains, stresses and the temperature distribution to be obtained in shells and plates of composite or porous materials with a different kind of reinforcement of the periodic structure (waffle, ribbed, corrugated) in reinforced and grid-like shells and plates. In the limiting case of “smooth” surfaces and a homogeneous material, the thermoelasticity equations are obtained for shallow anisotropic shells and the heat conduction equations of anisotropic shells assuming a linear temperature distribution law over the thickness.     

Investigation on effects of stochastic loading at the boundary under thermoelasticity with two relaxation parameters

The main objective of the present work is to study the responses of stochastic type mechanical distribution at the boundary of an elastic half space in the context of generalized thermoelasticity. In order to compare the results under the stochastic mechanical distribution, we have also considered the case of deterministic mechanical distribution prescribed at the boundary. The stochastic mechanical distribution is considered in such a way that it reduces to a deterministic type distribution as a special case. Laplace transform technique is used to solve the problem and its inversion is carried out by using asymptotic expansions valid for short times to obtain the solution of all the physical field variables like, stress and temperature distributions in the physical domain. Numerical results are found out to compare the effects of stochastic and deterministic load prescribed at the boundary of the elastic half space.     

Optimization of a member with variable modulus of elasticity

The problem of the optimal (from the weight standpoint) law of longitudinal variation of the modulus of elasticity is considered with reference to a member in axial compression when the limit state is reached as a result of loss of stability. Constraints are imposed on the modulus of elasticity. The problem is solved with the aid of the apparatus of the generalized maximum principle.     

The third boundary value problem for the system of equations of linear thermoelasticity

The existence and uniqueness of a generalized solution are proved for the third boundary value problem for a system of differential equations in the linear thermoelasticity theory. The displacement vector and temperature of the medium are the sought functions. The existence of a solution is proved, using the contraction mapping principle. In obtaining some necessary a priori estimates, the expansion of the solution was used in a series of generalized eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator.     

Uniform decay of energy for a porous thermoelasticity system with past history

In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional porous thermoelasticity system with past history, which contains a porous elasticity in the presence of a visco-porous dissipation, a macrotemperature effect and temperature difference. We establish the exponential stability of the system if and only if the equations have the same wave speeds, and obtain the energy decays polynomially to zero in the case that the wave speeds of the equations are different.     

Reflection of plane waves from the stress-free isothermal and insulated boundaries of a nonlocal thermoelastic solid

The generalized thermoelasticity theory based upon the Green and Naghdi model II of thermoelasticity as well as the Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity model is used to study the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a nonlocal thermoelastic medium. We found two sets of coupled longitudinal waves which are dispersive in nature and associated with attenuation. In addition to the coupled waves, there also exists one independent vertically shear type wave which is dispersive but without any attenuation. All these waves are found to be influenced by the elastic nonlocality parameter. Furthermore, the shear type wave is found to to be associated with a critical frequency, while the coupled longitudinal waves may have critical frequencies under constraints. The problem of reflection of the thermoelastic waves at the stress-free insulated and isothermal boundary of a homogeneous, isotropic nonlocal thermoelastic half-space has also been investigated. The formulae for various reflection coefficients and their respective energy ratios are determined in various cases. For a particular material, the effects of the angular frequency and the elastic nonlocal parameter have been shown on the phase speeds and the attenuation coefficients of the propagating waves. The effect of the elastic nonlocality on the reflection coefficients as well as the energy ratios has been observed and depicted graphically. Finally, analysis of the various results has been interpreted.     

On dynamic effects in an elastic half-space under “thermal impact” : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 1105–1113

The general uncoupled dynamical problem of thermoelasticity for a half-space under the condition of a thermal impact with a finite rate of change in temperature on its boundary is solved by the method of principal (fundamental) functions within the framework of a generalized theory of heat conduction.An elastic steel half-space is analyzed as an illustration. The problem on thermal stresses originating in an elastic half-space due to thermal impact produced by a jump change in temperature on the boundary was first analyzed in [1]. Since the temperature change on the boundary occurs at a finite rate, it is generally impossible to realize the thermal impact considered in [1] physically. The dynamic effects in an elastic half-space under a thermal impact with finite rate of change in the temperature on the boundary have been studied in [2]. For high rates of change of the heat flux we obtain a generalized wave equation of heat conduction [3] taking into account the finite velocity of heat propagation. Hence, the solution of the ordinary parabolic heat conduction equation used in [1, 2] does not correspond to the true temperature field. The problems of [1, 2] have been examined in [4, 5], respectively, within the framework of a generalized theory of heat conduction.     

Reflection of plane waves in generalized thermoelasticity of type III with nonlocal effect

The generalized thermoelasticity theory based upon the Green and Naghdi model III of thermoelasticity as well as the Eringen's nonlocal elasticity model is used to study the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a nonlocal thermoelastic medium. We found two sets of coupled longitudinal waves, which are dispersive in nature and experience attenuation. In addition to the coupled waves, there also exists one independent vertically shear-type wave, which is dispersive but experiences no attenuation. All these waves are found to be influenced by the elastic nonlocality parameter. Furthermore, the shear-type wave is found to face a critical frequency, while the coupled longitudinal waves may face critical frequencies conditionally. The problem of reflection of the thermoelastic waves at the stress-free insulated and isothermal boundary of a homogeneous, isotropic nonlocal thermoelastic half-space has also been investigated. The formulae for various reflection coefficients and their respective energy ratios are determined in various cases. For a particular material, the effects of the angular frequency and the elastic nonlocal parameter have been shown on phase speeds and the attenuation coefficients of the propagating waves. The effect of the elastic nonlocality on the reflection coefficients and the energy ratios has been observed and depicted graphically. Finally, analysis of the various results has been interpreted.     

Some basic boundary value problems of the plane thermoelasticity with microtemperatures

The present paper is devoted to the two‐dimensional version of statics of the linear theory of elastic materials with inner structure whose particles, in addition to the classical displacement and temperature fields, possess microtemperatures. Some results of the classical theories of elasticity and thermoelasticity are generalized. The Green's formulas in the case under consideration are obtained, basic boundary value problems are formulated, and uniqueness theorems are proved. The fundamental matrix of solutions for the governing system of the model and the corresponding single and double layer thermoelastopotentials are constructed. Properties of the potentials are studied. Applying the potential method, for the first and second boundary value problems, we construct singular integral equations of the second kind and prove the existence theorems of solutions for the bounded and unbounded domains.

Generalized thermoelastic infinite medium with spherical cavity subjected to moving heat source

This paper deals with a problem of thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic unbounded medium with spherical cavity due to the presence of moving heat sources in the context of the linear theory of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time. The governing equations are expressed in the Laplace transform domain and solved in that domain. The inversion of the Laplace transform is done numerically using the Riemann-sum approximation method. The numerical estimates of the displacement, temperature, stress, and strain are obtained for a hypothetical material. The results obtained are presented graphically to show the effect of the heat source velocity and the relaxation time parameters on displacement, temperature, stress, and strain.     

Initial-boundary value problems for non-linear equations of generalized thermoelasticity and elasticity

We formulate a local existence theorem for the initial-boundary value problems of generalized thermoelasticity and classical elasticity. We present a unified approach to such boundary conditions as, for example, the boundary condition of traction, pressure or place combined with the boundary condition of heat flux or temperature.     

Cavity identification in linear elasticity and thermoelasticity

The aim of this paper is an analysis of geometric inverse problems in linear elasticity and thermoelasticity related to the identification of cavities in two and three spatial dimensions. The overdetermined boundary data used for the reconstruction are the displacement and temperature on a part of the boundary. We derive identifiability results and directional stability estimates, the latter using the concept of shape derivatives, whose form is known in elasticity and newly derived for thermoelasticity. For numerical reconstructions we use a least‐squares formulation and a geometric gradient descent based on the associated shape derivatives. The directional stability estimates guarantee the stability of the gradient descent approach, so that an iterative regularization is obtained. This iterative scheme is then regularized by a level set approach allowing the reconstruction of multiply connected shapes. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We state generalized variational formulations of dynamic contact problems in the presence of zones of nonideal contact. For a problem of the theory of elasticity we write a generalized functional of Hamiltonian type.
