Effects of thermal relaxations on thermoelastic interactions in an infinite orthotropic elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity

Thermoelastic interactions in an infinite orthotropic elastic medium with a cylindrical cavity are studied. The cavity surface is subjected to ramp-type heating of its internal boundary, which is assumed to be traction free. Lord–Shulman and Green–Lindsay models for the generalized thermoelasticity theories are selected since they allow for second-sound effects and reduce to the classical model for an appropriate choice of the parameters. The temperature, radial displacement, radial stress, and hoop stress distributions are computed numerically using the finite-element method (FEM). The results are presented graphically for different values of the thermal relaxation times using the three different theories of generalized thermoelasticity. Excellent agreement is found between the finite-element analysis and analytical and classical solutions.     

Problem of generalized thermoelastic infinite medium with cylindrical cavity subjected to a ramp-type heating and loading

This paper presents the problem of thermoelastic interactions in an elastic infinite medium with cylindrical cavity at an elevated temperature field arising out of a ramp-type heating and loading bounding surface of the cavity, and the surface is assumed initially quiescent. The governing equations are taken in a unified system from which the field equations for coupled thermoelasticity as well as for generalized thermoelasticity can be easily obtained as particular cases. Due attention has been paid to the finite time of rise of temperature, stress, displacement, and strain. The problem has been solved analytically using a direct approach. The derived analytical expressions have been computed for a specific situation. Numerical results for the temperature distribution, thermal stress, displacement, and strain are represented graphically. A comparison is made with the results predicted by the three theories.     

Ideal nonsymmetric 4D-medium as a model of invertible dynamic thermoelasticity

The space-time continuum (4D-medium) is considered, and a generalized model of reversible dynamic thermoelasticity is constructed as a theory of elasticity of an ideal (defect-free) nonsymmetric 4D-medium that is transversally-isotropic with respect to the time coordinate. The definitions of stresses and strains for the space-time continuum are introduced. The constitutive equations of the medium model relating the components of nonsymmetric stress and distortion 4D-tensors are stated. Physical interpretations of all tensor components of the thermomechanical properties are given. The Lagrangian of the generalized model of coupled dynamic thermoelasticity is presented, and the Euler equations are analyzed. It is shown that the three Euler equations are generalized equations of motion of the dynamic classical thermoelasticity, and the last, fourth, equation is a generalized heat equation which allows one to predict the wave properties of heat. An energy-consistent version of thermoelasticity is constructed where the Duhamel-Neumann and Maxwell-Cattaneo laws (a nonclassical generalization of the Fourier law for the heat flow) are direct consequences of the constitutive equations.     

Memory response on thermal wave propagation in an elastic solid with voids

Abstract

Fractional derivative is a widely accepted theory to describe the physical phenomena and the processes with memory responses which is defined in the form of convolution having kernels as power functions. Due to the shortcomings of power law distributions, some other forms of derivatives with few other kernel functions are proposed. This present study deals with a novel mathematical model of generalized thermoelasticity to investigate the transient phenomena for an infinite porous material subjected to the presence of distributed time-dependent heat source acting over the plane area. The heat transport equation for this problem is involving the memory dependent derivative on a slipping interval in the context of three-phase-lag (3PL) model of generalized thermoelasticity. Employing the Laplace transform as a tool, the analytical results for the distributions of the change in volume fraction field, temperature, stress, and displacement are obtained on solving the vector-matrix differential equation using eigenvalue approach. The numerical inversion of the Laplace transform is performed using the Zakian method. Excellent predictive capability is demonstrated due to the presence of memory dependent derivative and delay time also.

State-space approach of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity of one-dimensional problem

In this paper, 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 two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory [Youssef, H., 2005a. The dependence of the modulus of elasticity and the thermal conductivity on the reference temperature in generalized thermoelasticity for an infinite material with a spherical cavity, J. Appl. Math. Mech., 26(4), 4827; Youssef, H., 2005b. Theory of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity, IMA J. Appl. Math., 1–8]. The medium is assumed initially quiescent. Laplace transform and state space 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 thermal shock and traction free. 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 two-temperature parameter.     

Generalized thermoelastic infinite transversely isotropic body with a cylindrical cavity due to moving heat source and harmonically varying heat

In this paper, the induced temperature, displacement, and stress fields in an infinite transversely isotropic unbounded medium with cylindrical cavity due to a moving heat source and harmonically varying heat are investigated. This problem is solved in the context of the linear theory of generalized thermoelasticity with dual phase lag model. The governing equations are expressed in Laplace transform domain. Based on Fourier series expansion technique the inversion of Laplace transform is done numerically. The numerical estimates of the displacement, temperature and stress are obtained and presented graphically. The theories of coupled thermoelasticity, generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time, and thermoelasticity without energy dissipation can extracted as special cases. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to present the effect of the heat source, dual phase lags parameters and the angular frequency of thermal vibration on all the studied fields.

A variational principle and a reciprocity theorem are derived.     

Relaxation Effects of a Saturated Porous Media Using the Two-Dimensional Generalized Thermoelastic Theory

A model of the equations of a generalized thermoelasticity (GT) with relaxation times for a saturated porous medium is given in this article. The formulation can be applied to the GT theories: Lord–Shulman theory, Green–Lindsay theory, and Coupled theory for the porous medium. A two-dimensional thermoelastic problem that is subjected to a time-dependent thermal/mechanical source is investigated with the model of the generalized porous thermoelasticity. By using the Laplace transform and the Fourier transform technique, solutions for the displacement, temperature, pore pressure, and stresses are obtained with a semi-analytical approach in the transform domain. Numerical results are also performed for portraying the nature of variations of the field variables. In addition, comparisons are presented with the corresponding four theories.     

Wave propagation in dual-phase-lag anisotropic thermoelasticity

The present paper is concerned with the propagation of plane waves in a transversely isotropic dual-phase-lag generalized thermoelastic solid half-space. The governing equations are solved in x–z plane to show the existence of three plane waves. Reflection of these plane waves from thermally insulated as well as isothermal stress-free surfaces is studied to obtain a system of three non-homogeneous equations in reflection coefficients of reflected waves. For numerical computations of speeds and reflection coefficients, a particular material is modeled as transversely isotropic dual-phase-lag generalized thermoelastic solid half-space. The speeds of plane waves are computed numerically for a certain range of the angle of propagation and are shown graphically against the angle of propagation for the cases of dual-phase-lag (DPL) thermoelasticity, coupled thermoelasticity and Lord–Shulman generalized thermoelasticity. Reflection coefficients of various reflected plane waves are computed numerically for thermally insulated as well as isothermal cases and are shown graphically against the angle of incidence for the cases of DPL thermoelasticity, coupled thermoelasticity and Lord–Shulman generalized thermoelasticity.     

Moving heat source response in micropolar half-space with two-temperature theory

The present paper deals with the moving heat source response in a homogeneous, isotropic, micropolar semi-infinite medium in the presence of a finite rotation about its axis. In this context, two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory has been considered. In order to obtain the physical aspects of displacement, microrotation, stress distribution and temperature changes, a complex quartic equation has been solved by employing Descartes’ algorithm with the help of an irreducible Cardan’s method. To illustrate the analytical developments, the numerical solutions have been carried out for aluminum–epoxy composite, and the variations in displacement, microrotation, stress distribution and temperature changes have been shown graphically. This work may find applications in geophysics.     

Two-dimensional generalized thermoelasticity problem for a half-space subjected to ramp-type heating

In this paper, we will consider a half-space filled with an elastic material, which has constant elastic parameters. The governing equations are taken in a unified system from which the field equations for coupled thermoelasticity as well as for generalized thermoelasticity can be easily obtained as particular cases. 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 with different theories of thermoelasticity.

Thermoelastic solutions for thermal distributions moving over thin slim rod under memory-dependent three-phase lag magneto-thermoelasticity

Abstract

Enlightened by the Caputo fractional derivative, the present study deals with a novel mathematical model of generalized thermoelasticity to investigate the transient phenomena due to the influence of magnetic field and moving heat source in a rod in the context of three-phase lag (TPL) theory of thermoelasticity. Both ends of the rod are fixed and heat insulated. Employing Laplace transform as a tool, the problem has been transformed into the space-domain and solved analytically. Finally, solutions in the real-time domain are obtained by applying the inverse Laplace transform. Numerical calculation for stress, displacement, and temperature within the rod is carried out and displayed graphically. The effect of moving heat source speed on temperature, stress, and temperature is studied. It is found from the distributions that the temperature, thermally induced displacement and stress of the rod are found to decrease at large source speed. For the better understanding of the effect of moving heat source on all the distributions, three animations are added.     

Two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity under ramp-type heating by finite element method

In this work, a general finite element model is proposed to analyze transient phenomena in thermoelastic half-space filled with an elastic material, which has constant elastic parameters. The governing equations are taken in the context of the two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory (Youssef in IMA J. Appl. Math. 71(3):383–390, 2006). A linear temperature ramping function is used to more realistically model thermal loading of the half-space surface. The medium is assumed initially quiescent. A finite element scheme is presented for the high accuracy numerical purpose. The numerical solutions of the non-dimensional governing partial differential equations of the problem have been shown graphically and some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effect of the ramping parameter of heating and the parameter of two-temperature.     

一维半无限压电杆的广义的热冲击问题

采用具有两个热松驰时间的G－L广义热弹性理论，研究了一维无限无限长杆在其端部受到热冲击时的边值问题，借助于拉普拉斯正、反变换技术，在所考虑时间非常短的情况下，对问题进行了求解。得到了位移及温度分布的近似妥析角，发现位移及温度分布中分别存在两上阶跃点，并通过数值计算，把温度的分布规律用图形反映了出来，从温度的分布图上可以看出，当任何x的值大于第二个阶跃点的位置值时，温度值都是零，也即在当前所绘定的时刻，热以波的形式沿压电杆仅传播到第二阶跃点的位置，而在第二个阶跃点之后，压电杆上的温度分布保持初始温度；定不同时刻，热波波前的位置也将相应的在压电杆上移动，也即热波波前在压电杆上的位置随考虑时刻不同而不同，这与经典的热传导是完全不同的，它说明热是以波的形式以有限的速度，而不是以无限的速度在介质中进行传播的。     

Lamb waves in micropolar thermoelastic solid plates immersed in liquid with varying temperature

In the present paper the theory of micropolar generalized thermoelastic continua has been employed to study the propagation of plane waves in micropolar thermoelastic plates bordered with inviscid liquid layers (or half-spaces) with varying temperature on both sides. The secular equations in closed form and isolated mathematical conditions are derived and discussed. Thin plate and short wave length results have also been deduced under different cases and situations and discussed as special cases of this work. The results in case of conventional coupled and uncoupled theories of thermoelasticity can be obtained both in case of micropolar elastic and elastokinetics from the present analysis by appropriate choice of relevant parameters. The various secular equations and relevant relations have been solved numerically by using functional iteration method in order to illustrate the analytical developments. Effect of characteristic length and coupling factors have also been studied on phase velocity. The computer simulated results in case of phase velocity, attenuation coefficient and specific loss of symmetric and skew symmetric are presented graphically.     

Some theorems on two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity

The aim of the present work is to establish a reciprocal principle of Betti type in the context of linear theory of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity (Youssef in IMA J Appl Math 71:383–390, 2006; Arch Appl Mech 75:553–565, 2006) for homogeneous and isotropic body. Generalizations of the theorems of Somigliana and Green to two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity are also established on the basis of our reciprocal principle.     

Generalized magneto-thermoelasticity in a nonhomogeneous isotropic hollow cylinder using the finite element method

In this paper, we constructed the equations of generalized magneto-thermoelasticity in a perfectly conducting medium. The formulation is applied to generalizations, the Lord–Shulman theory with one relaxation time, and the Green–Lindsay theory with two relaxation times, as well as to the coupled theory. The material of the cylinder is supposed to be nonhomogeneous isotropic both mechanically and thermally. The problem has been solved numerically using a finite element method. Numerical results for the temperature distribution, displacement, radial stress, and hoop stress are represented graphically. The results indicate that the effects of nonhomogeneity, magnetic field, and thermal relaxation times are very pronounced. In the absence of the magnetic field or relaxation times, our results reduce to those of generalized thermoelasticity and/or classical dynamical thermoelasticity, respectively. Results carried out in this paper can be used to design various nonhomogeneous magneto-thermoelastic elements under magnetothermal load to meet special engineering requirements.

Generalized thermoelastic problem of an infinite body with a spherical cavity under dual-phase-lags

The aim of the present contribution is the determination of the thermoelastic temperatures, stress, displacement, and strain in an infinite isotropic elastic body with a spherical cavity in the context of the mechanism of the two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory (2TT). The two-temperature Lord–Shulman (2TLS) model and two-temperature dual-phase-lag (2TDP) model of thermoelasticity are combined into a unified formulation with unified parameters. The medium is assumed to be initially quiescent. The basic equations are written in the form of a vector matrix differential equation in the Laplace transform domain, which is then solved by the state-space approach. The expressions for the conductive temperature and elongation are obtained at small times. The numerical inversion of the transformed solutions is carried out by using the Fourier-series expansion technique. A comparative study is performed for the thermoelastic stresses, conductive temperature, thermodynamic temperature, displacement, and elongation computed by using the Lord–Shulman and dual-phase-lag models.     

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.
