State-space approach of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity of infinite body with a spherical cavity subjected to different types of thermal loading

In this work, we will consider an infinite elastic body with a spherical cavity and constant elastic parameters. The governing equations are taken in the context of the two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory (Youssef in J Appl Math Mech 26(4):470–475 2005a, IMA J Appl Math, pp 1–8, 2005). 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 when the bounding plane of the cavity is subjected to thermal loading (thermal shock and ramp-type heating). 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 and the ramping parameters.     

Finite element analysis of two-temperature generalized magneto-thermoelasticity

A general finite element model is proposed to analyze transient phenomena in thermoelastic solids. Youssef model of two-temperature generalized magneto-thermoelasticity is selected for an homogenous, isotropic, conducting and elastic medium, which is subjected to thermal shock, and a magnetic field with constant intensity acts tangent to the bounding plane. The numerical solution of the nondimensional governing partial differential equations of the problem has been shown graphically.

Well-posedness of the equations of generalized thermoelasticity

In this paper the local existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence for smooth solutions to the initial value problem for a class of generalized (dependent on the time derivative of temperature) thermoelastic materials is proved. The field equations are written as a quasilinear hyperbolic system and the known results by Hughes, Kato and Marsden are applied.     

A generalized variational principle in micromorphic thermoelasticity

Recently Nappa obtains a Gurtin-type variational principle for micromorphic thermoelasticity. However, the use of convolutions is of course restricted to the linear case, which sets a limit to the rang of applicability. This paper establishes a classic variational principles for the discussed problem by the semi-inverse method.     

A generalized theory of linear micropolar thermoelasticity

Summary The linear theory of thermoelasticity established by Green and Lindsay with the help of an entropy production inequality proposed by Green and Laws is generalized to the case of a homogeneous micropolar continuum. The basic equations are derived using invariance conditions under superposed rigid body motions.

Some theorems on Gabor operators

The object of this study is the class of closable Gabor operators. That is the set of operators which map a Gabor function (or note) into a multiple of a Gabor function. By using the Bargman space (sometimes called Bargman representation) some general properties of these operators are derived. It is shown that the set of Gabor operators whose adjoint is also a Gabor operator establishes a six-dimensional complex manifold with a partial Lie-group structure and with an involution. The corresponding Lie-algebra and the infinitesimal generators are calculated. Further it turns out that, at least locally, a Gabor operator with a Gabor adjoint results from an evolution process. The proofs of the theorems are a hybridization of Hilbert space techniques and classical complex analysis (theorems of Osgood, Montel, etc.). The proofs will be published elsewhere in a wider context.     

Some theorems on holomorphic matrices

We consider holomorphic m x m-matrices, i.e. m x m-matrices whose matrix elements are holomorphic functions on a connected open set G in the space C_n of n complex variables.After giving some physical motivation for this research we discuss the analytic behavior of the eigenvalues, the construction of a G-adherent transformation matrix and a (physically) useful commutator theory.

Effect of the thermal relaxation and magnetic field on generalized micropolar thermoelasticity

The model of generalized micropolar magneto-thermoelasticity for a thermally and perfectly conducting half-space is studied. The initial magnetic field is parallel to the boundary of the half-space. The formulation is applied to the generalized thermo-elasticity theories of Lord and Shulman, Green and Lindsay, as well as to the coupled dynamic theory. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain expressions for the temperature increment, the displacement, and the stress components of the model at the interface. By using potential functions, the governing equations are reduced to two fourth-order differential equations. By numerical calculation, the variation of the considered variables is given and illustrated graphically for a magnesium crystal micropolar elastic material. Comparisons are performed with the results predicted by the three theories in the presence of a magnetic field.     

Uniqueness theorems in the theory of thermoelasticity for solids with double porosity

In this paper the coupled linear theory of thermoelasticity for solids with double porosity is considered. The governing system of field equations of this theory is based on motion equations, conservation of fluid mass, constitutive equations, extended Darcy’s law for materials with double porosity and Fourier’s law for heat conduction. A wide class of the basic internal and external boundary value problems (BVPs) of steady vibrations is formulated and uniqueness theorems for regular (classical) solutions of these BVPs are proved.     

Propagation of discontinuities in electromagneto generalized thermoelasticity in cylindrical regions

In this work we study wave propagation for a problem of an infinitely long solid conducting circular cylinder whose lateral surface is traction free and subjected to known surrounding temperatures in the presence of a uniform magnetic field in the direction of the axis. The problem is in the context of generalized magneto-thermo-elasticity theory with one relaxation time. Laplace transform techniques are used to derive the solution in the Laplace transform domain. The inversion process is carried out using a numerical method based on Fourier series expansions. Wave propagation in the elastic medium and in the free space, bounding it, is investigated.     

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.     

State-space approach to thermoelastic interactions in generalized thermoelasticity type III

The present work is attempted to formulate the state-space approach to the problems of thermoelastic interactions with energy dissipation on the basis of the theory of generalized thermoelasticity type-III, recently developed by Green and Naghdi. The formulation is then applied to solve a boundary value problem of an isotropic elastic half space with its plane boundary subjected to two different types of boundary conditions: (1) sudden increase in temperature and zero stress and (2) sudden increase in load and zero temperature change. Integral transform method is applied to obtain the solution of the problem. The short time approximated solutions for the field variables have been constructed analytically for both the cases. The problem is illustrated with the help of different graphs of numerical values of the field variables.
