Two-dimensional generalized thermal shock problem of a thick piezoelectric plate of infinite extent

The theory of generalized thermoelasticity, based on the theory of Green and Lindsay with two relaxation times, is used to deal with a thermoelastic–piezoelectric coupled two-dimensional thermal shock problem of a thick piezoelectric plate of infinite extent by means of the hybrid Laplace transform-finite element method. The generalized thermoelastic–piezoelectric coupled finite element equations are formulated. By using Laplace transform the equations are solved and the solutions of the temperature, displacement and electric potential are obtained in the Laplace transform domain. Then the numerical inversion is carried out to obtain the temperature, displacement and electric potential distributions in the physical domain. The distributions are represented graphically. From the distributions, it can be found the wave type heat propagation in the piezoelectric plate. The heat wavefront moves forward with a finite speed in the piezoelectric plate with the passage of time. This indicates that the generalized heat conduction mechanism is completely different from the classic Fourier’s in essence. In generalized thermoelasticity theory heat propagates as a wave with finite velocity instead of infinite velocity in media.     

Magneto-thermoelastic Response in a Functionally Graded Isotropic Unbounded Medium Under a Periodically Varying Heat Source

This paper deals with the problem of magneto-thermoelastic interactions in a functionally graded isotropic unbounded medium due to the presence of periodically varying heat sources in the context of linear theory of generalized thermoelasticity with energy dissipation (TEWED) and without energy dissipation (TEWOED) having a finite conductivity. The governing equations of generalized thermoelasticity (GN model) for a functionally graded material (FGM) under the influence of a magnetic field are established. The Laplace–Fourier double transform technique has been used to get the solution. The inversion of the Fourier transform has been done by using residual calculus, where poles of the integrand are obtained numerically in a complex domain by using Leguerre’s method and the inversion of the Laplace transformation is done numerically using a method based on a Fourier series expansion technique. Numerical estimates of the displacement, temperature, stress, and strain are obtained for a hypothetical material. The solution to the analogous problem for homogeneous isotropic materials is obtained by taking a suitable non-homogeneous parameter. Finally, the results obtained are presented graphically to show the effect of a non-homogeneous, magnetic field and damping coefficient on displacement, temperature, stress, and strain.     

On the propagation of waves in layered anisotropic media in generalized thermoelasticity

In view of the increased usage of anisotropic materials in the development of advanced engineering materials such as fibers and composite and other multilayered, propagation of thermoelastic waves in arbitrary anisotropic layered plate is investigated in the context of the generalized theory of thermoelasticity. Beginning with a formal analysis of waves in a heat-conducting N-layered plate of an arbitrary anisotropic media, the dispersion relations of thermoelastic waves are obtained by invoking continuity at the interface and boundary conditions on the surfaces of layered plate. The calculation is then carried forward for more specialized case of a monoclinic layered plate. The obtained solutions which can be used for material systems of higher symmetry (orthotropic, transversely isotropic, cubic, and isotropic) are contained implicitly in our analysis. The case of normal incidence is also considered separately. Some special cases have also been deduced and discussed. We also demonstrate that the particle motions for SH modes decouple from rest of the motion, and are not influenced by thermal variations if the propagation occurs along an in-plane axis of symmetry. The results of the strain energy distribution in generalized thermoelasticity are useful in determining the arrangements of the layer in thermal environment.     

Plane wave propagation and domain of influence in fractional order thermoelastic materials with three-phase-lag heat transfer

The domain of influence theorem for the fractional order theory of anisotropic thermoelastic materials with three-phase-lag heat transfer is proposed. The fractional order theory of thermoelasticity with three-phase-lag heat transfer has been used to investigate the problem. The plane wave propagation in anisotropic thermoelastic medium having a fractional order derivative in the context of three-phase-lag model of thermoelasticity is studied. The governing equations for a transversely isotropic three-phase-lag model are reduced as a special case. Some wave characteristics are computed numerically and presented graphically.     

Size-dependent generalized thermoelasticity model for Timoshenko microbeams

A size-dependent, explicit formulation for coupled thermoelasticity addressing a Timoshenko microbeam is derived in this study. This novel model combines modified couple stresses and non-Fourier heat conduction to capture size effects in the microscale. To this purpose, a length-scale parameter as square root of the ratio of curvature modulus to shear modulus and a thermal relaxation time as the phase lag of heat flux vector are considered for predicting the thermomechanical behavior in a microscale device accurately. Governing equations and boundary conditions of motion are obtained simultaneously through variational formulation based on Hamilton’s principle. As for case study, the model is utilized for simply supported microbeams subjected to a constant impulsive force per unit length. A comparison of the results with those obtained by the classical elasticity and Fourier heat conduction theories is carried out. Findings indicate that simultaneous considering the length-scale parameter and thermal relaxation time has strong influence on the thermoelastic behavior of microbeams. In dynamic thermoelastic analysis of the microbeam, while the non-Fourier heat conduction model is employed, the modified couple stress theory predicts larger deflection compared with the classical theory.     

Transient thermoelasticity analysis of functionally graded thick hollow cylinder based on Green–Lindsay model

The transient thermoelastic response of a thick hollow cylinder made of functionally graded material under thermal loading is studied. The generalized theory of thermoelasticity based on Green?CLindsay model is used in this paper. The thermal and mechanical properties of the functionally graded material are assumed to be varied in the radial direction according to a power law variation as a function of the volume fractions of the constituents. The heat conduction equation and the equation of motion are solved by using Galerkin finite element method. All the finite element calculations were done by using commercial finite element program FlexPDE. The transient temperature, radial displacement, and thermal stresses distribution through the radial direction of the cylinder are plotted. The material composition effect on temperature, radial displacement and thermal stresses is shown.     

A unified generalized thermoelasticity solution for the transient thermal shock problem

A unified generalized thermoelasticity solution for the transient thermal shock problem in the context of three different generalized theories of the coupled thermoelasticity, namely: the extended thermoelasticity, the temperature-rate-dependent thermoelasticity and the thermoelasticity without energy dissipation is proposed in this paper. First, a unified form of the governing equations is presented by introducing the unifier parameters. Second, the unified equations are derived for the thermoelastic problem of the isotropic and homogeneous materials subjected to a transient thermal shock. The Laplace transform and inverse transform are used to solve these equations, and the unified analytical solutions in the transform domain and the short-time approximated solutions in the time domain of displacement, temperature and stresses are obtained. Finally, the numerical results for copper material are displayed in graphical forms to compare the characteristic features of the above three generalized theories for dealing with the transient thermal shock problem.

The governing equations of the new model are applied to a half-space subjected to ramp-type heating. Laplace transforms technique is used. The solution is obtained for different types of functions representing the thermal shock and for different values of the parameter of the time fraction derivative of the model. The effects of time-delay and arbitrary kernel function on elastic material are studied and represented graphically. The predictions of the theory are discussed and compared with dynamic classical coupled theory.     

The comparisons of thermo-elastic waves for Lord-Shulman mode and Green-Lindsay mode based on Guo��s eigen theory

The motion equations of anisotropic media, coupled to the heat conduction equations, are studied here based on the L-S model and the G-L model. The complete set of uncoupled elastic and heat wave equations for anisotropic media are deduced. The results show that the L-S model is suitable for elastic materials and the G-L model is more suitable for dissipative materials. Based on these laws, we discuss the propagation behaviors of heat wave and elastic waves for isotropic media.     

Generalized Thermoelasticity of Thermal-Shock Problem in a Non-homogeneous Isotropic Hollow Cylinder with Energy Dissipation

A solution of a thermal-shock problem of generalized thermoelasticity of a non-homogeneous isotropic hollow cylinder using a finite-element method is developed. The formulation is applied to the generalized thermoelasticity based on the Green and Naghdi (GN) theory of type II and type III by an appropriate choice of parameters. The problem has been solved numerically using a finite-element method. Numerical results for the distributions of displacement, temperature, radial stress, and hoop stress are represented graphically. The results indicate that the effects of non-homogeneity are very pronounced. The effects of non-homogeneity are presented with the two types of the Green and Naghdi theory.

On fractional order generalized thermoelasticity with micromodeling

This paper presents the theory of fractional order generalized thermoelasticity with microstructure modeling for porous elastic bodies and synthetic materials containing microscopic components and microcracks. Built upon the micromorphic theory, the theory of fractional order generalized micromorphic thermoelasticity (FOGTE_mm) is firstly established by introducing the fractional integral operator. To generalize the FOGTE_mm theory, the general forms of the extended thermoelasticity, temperature rate dependent thermoelasticity, thermoelasticity without energy dissipation, thermoelasticity with energy dissipation, and dual-phase-lag thermoelasticity are introduced during the formulation. Secondly, the uniqueness theorem for FOGTE_mm is established. Finally, a generalized variational principle of FOGTE_mm is developed by using the semi-inverse method. For reference, the theories of fractional order generalized micropolar thermoelasticity (FOGTE_mp) and microstretch thermoelasticity (FOGTE_ms) and the corresponding generalized variational theorems are also presented.     

Generalized thermoelastic waves in functionally graded plates without energy dissipation

In this paper, a dynamic solution of the propagating thermoelastic waves in functionally graded material (FGM) plate subjected to stress-free, isothermal boundary conditions is presented in the context of the Green–Naghdi (GN) generalized thermoelastic theory. The FGM plate is composed of two orthotropic materials. The materials properties are assumed to vary in the direction of the thickness according to a known variation law. The coupled wave equation and heat conduction equation are solved by the Legendre orthogonal polynomial series expansion approach. The convergency of the method is discussed through a numerical example. The dispersion curves of the inhomogeneous thermoelastic plate and the corresponding pure elastic plate are compared to show the characteristics of thermal modes and the influence of the thermoelasticity on elastic modes. The displacement, temperature and stress distributions of elastic modes and thermal modes are shown to discuss their differences. A plate with a different gradient variation is calculated to illustrate the influence of the gradient field on the wave characteristics.     

Generalized thermoelastic analysis of layer interface excited by pulsed laser heating

In order to investigate the temperature and stress distribution at the interface of an elastic layer and a rigid foundation under laser thermal shock, a boundary element method is presented. The effective stress and temperature fields are calculated at the interface. The bounded layer absorbs the thermal energy from a repetitively pulsed laser in its surface plane. The pulse duration is of the order of the characteristic time for heat to diffuse across the layer thickness, and thus axial heat conduction cannot be neglected. The generalized thermoelasticity assumption based on the Lord and Shulman model on the temperature and stress distribution at the interface of an elastic layer is considered. Comparison with the classical coupled and uncoupled models are investigated. The effects of the pulse duration and layer thickness on the effective stress and temperature distribution of the layer is studied using the classical theory of thermoelasticity. It is found that for the same maximum surface temperature rise, a shorter pulsed laser induces much stronger effective stress wave front. The layer thickness, on the other hand, has minor effect on the effective stress distribution.

Comparisons are made with the results predicted by the four theories.     

Domain of influence theorem in linear thermoelasticity

Green-Lindsay's characterization of thermoelasticity is used to prove a domain of influence theorem for a homogeneous isotropic linear thermoelastic solid [1], The proof is based on an analogue of the generalized energy identity established by Zaremba [2] for the classical wave equation.     

Thermo-acoustical waves in thermo-plastic materials

Summary The propagation velocities and the variation of the amplitudes of thermo-acoustical waves in thermo-plastic materials are theoretically investigated. The constitutive equations of anisotropic thermo-plastic materials are derived from the concept of imaginary decomposition of the deformation rate tensor into the elastic and plastic contributions and from that of the plastic potential. From generalized Vernotte's heat conduction law the propagation condition of the jumps of the velocity gradients and of the temperature rate is obtained. In isotropic materials and in the case of a normal stress vector on the wave front we have two purely mechanical transverse waves and two thermo-longitudinal coupled waves. Formulae for the velocities and amplitudes are quite similar with those for thermo-elastic materials. The variation of the amplitude is discussed. There are, in general, three effects on the variation, that is, the non-planar, heat conduction and plastic flow effects. The transverse waves are subjected only to the non-planar effect, while the thermo-longitudinal waves may grow or decay according to the above three effects.     

Fractional order two-temperature thermoelasticity with finite wave speed

In this paper, a new theory of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity is constructed in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction with fractional orders. The two-temperature Lord–Shulman (2TLS) model and two-temperature Green–Naghdi (2TGN) models of thermoelasticity are combined into a unified formulation using the unified parameters. The basic equations have been written in the form of a vector-matrix differential equation in the Laplace transform domain which is then solved by using a state-space approach. The inversions of Laplace transforms are computed numerically using the method of Fourier series expansion technique. The numerical estimates of the quantities of physical interest are obtained and depicted graphically. Some comparisons of the thermophysical quantities are shown in figures to estimate the effects of the temperature discrepancy and the fractional order parameter.
