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.     

Guided thermoelastic waves in functionally graded plates with two relaxation times

Functionally graded material (FGM) is a promising heat insulation material. Wave propagation in FGM structures has received much attention for the purpose of non-destructive testing and evaluation. Few literatures dealt with the thermoelastic wave in FGM structures although the thermal effect would cause attenuations of elastic waves. In this paper, guided thermoelastic waves in FGM plates subjected to stress-free, isothermal boundary conditions are investigated in the context of the Green–Lindsay (GL) generalized thermoelastic theories (with two relaxation times). Coupled wave equations and heat conduction equation are solved by the Legendre polynomial approach. Dispersion curves for a pure elastic graded plate are calculated to make a comparison with the published data. For the thermoelastic graded plate, dispersion curves of thermal modes and elastic modes are illustrated simultaneously. Attenuation curves for graded plates with different relaxation times are compared. The influences of different material gradient shapes are discussed. Two homogeneous thermoelastic plates with different volume fractions are obtained to show their differences from graded plates. Finally, thermoelastic wave dispersion curves for a homogeneous plate and a graded plate are calculated in the context of the classical coupled thermoelastic theory (CT) to show its differences and similarities to the generalized theory.     

Extensional thermoelastic waves in transversely isotropic plate according to a higher order theory

The objective of this work is to provide a rigorous analysis of thermoelastic ultrasonic waves in transversely isotropic plates. Characteristic features such as dispersion curves of thermoelastic waves of plates are investigated and the influence of coupling in the heat equation on these features is critically examined. If the propagation of the waves is along the axis of symmetry of the plate, then it is possible to decouple the antisymmetric modes from the symmetric ones. This is conveniently done in approximate theories by retaining and omitting various terms in the expansions for the displacement and temperature. In this work, it is assumed that the wave propagation is along the axis of symmetry of an infinite anisotropic plate. Hence, extensional (symmetric) modes can be investigated apart from the antisymmetric modes. Displacement and temperature are expanded across the thickness of the plate using Legendre polynomials. Obviously, such a theory best fits those applications where a low frequency pulse is employed. Further, keeping only the leading terms in the expansion of displacement and temperature gives rise to a lower order theory, which predicts well the correct behavior of symmetric modes in relatively smaller frequency range. Results also show that the effect of coupling in the heat equation is insignificant for thermoelastic waves and can be ignored.     

Thermoelastic Lamb waves in a transversely isotropic plate bordered with layers of inviscid liquid

Analysis for the propagation of thermoelastic waves in a homogeneous, transversely isotropic, thermally conducting plate bordered with layers of inviscid liquid or half space of inviscid liquid on both sides, is investigated in the context of coupled theory of thermoelasticity. Secular equations for homogeneous transversely isotropic plate in closed form and isolated mathematical conditions for symmetric and anti-symmetric wave modes in completely separate terms are derived. The results for isotropic materials and uncoupled theories of thermoelasticity have been obtained as particular cases. It is shown that the purely transverse motion (SH mode), which is not affected by thermal variations, gets decoupled from rest of the motion of wave propagation and occurs along an in-plane axis of symmetry. The special cases, such as short wavelength waves and thin plate waves of the secular equations are also discussed. The secular equations for leaky Lamb waves are also obtained and deduced. The amplitudes of displacement components and temperature change have also been computed and studied. Finally, the numerical solution is carried out for transversely isotropic plate of zinc material bordered with water. The dispersion curves for symmetric and anti-symmetric wave modes, attenuation coefficient and amplitudes of displacement and temperature change in case of fundamental symmetric (S₀) and skew symmetric (A₀) modes are presented in order to illustrate and compare the theoretical results. The theory and numerical computations are found to be in close agreement.     

Thermoelastic wave propagation in a random medium and some related problems

The mean waves in a medium with random inhomogeneities are studied within the theory of linear thermoelasticity. Under the assumption of small random fluctuations approximate integro-differential equations governing the mean displacement and temperature fields are derived. For the elastic case the material behaves effectively as a viscoelastic body with memory. The dispersion equation is obtained for the thermoelastic case. This equation is analyzed for some special cases. The random effects introduce attenuation and change of phase speeds for the compressional and shear waves. For weak thermoelastic coupling, the shear wave is not affected by the random thermal properties. Explicit results are obtained for general and special cases. In general the mean fields are coupled in a complicated way. Therefore an uncoupled theory is presented. Then the problems with random boundary conditions or a randomly varying boundary are discussed. Different perturbation methods are given. Two examples are provided respectively by the heat conduction across a rough surface and the hydrodynamic theory of lubrication under a random loading.     

Rayleigh-Lamb Waves in Transversely Isotropic Thermoelastic Diffusive Layer

Propagation of plane harmonic thermoelastic diffusive waves in a homogeneous, transversely isotropic, thin elastic layer of finite width is studied, in the context of the theory of coupled thermoelastic diffusion. According to the characteristic equation, three quasi-longitudinal waves, namely, quasi-elastodiffusive (QED) mode, quasi-mass diffusion (QMD) mode, and quasi-thermodiffusive (QTD) mode can propagate in addition to quasi-transverse waves (QSV) mode and the purely quasi-transverse motion (QSH) mode, which is not affected by thermal and diffusion vibrations, gets decoupled from the rest of the motion of wave propagation. The secular equations corresponding to the symmetric and skew symmetric modes of the layer are derived. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature change, and concentration for symmetric and skew symmetric modes of vibration of the layer are computed numerically. Anisotropy and diffusion effects on the phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, and amplitudes of displacements, temperature change, and concentration are presented graphically in order to illustrate and compare the results analytically. Some special cases of the frequency equation are also deduced and compared with the existing results.     

Rayleigh-Lamb waves in magneto-thermoelastic homogeneous isotropic plate

The propagation of magnetic-thermoelastic plane wave in an initially unstressed, homogeneous isotropic, conducting plate under uniform static magnetic field has been investigated. The generalized theory of thermoelasticity is employed, by assuming electrical behaviour as quasi-static and the mechanical behaviour as dynamic, to study the problem. The secular equations for both symmetric and skew-symmetric waves have been obtained. The magneto-elastic shear horizontal (SH) mode of wave propagation gets decoupled from rest of the motion and it is not influenced by thermal variations and thermal relaxation times. At short wavelength limits, the secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes reduce to Rayleigh surface wave frequency equation, because a finite thickness plate in such a situation behaves like a semi-infinite medium. Thin plate results are also deduced at the end. Dispersion curves are represented graphically for various modes of wave propagation in different theories of thermoelasticity. The amplitudes of displacement, perturbed magnetic field and temperature change are also obtained analytically and computed numerically. The result in case of elastokinetics, magneto-elasticity and coupled magneto-elasticity has also been deduced as special cases at appropriate stages of this work.

Shock-induced thermoelastic wave propagation analysisin a thick hollow cylinder without energy dissipation using mesh-free generalized finite difference (GFD) method

The main objective of this article is the exploitation of the generalized finite difference method to study the thermoelastic wave propagation, that is, the dynamic behaviors of displacement and temperature field in a thick hollow cylinder. The thermoelasticity governing equations are derived based on Green–Naghdi coupled thermoelasticity theory (without energy dissipation). The generalized finite difference (GFD) method is used to approximate the space variables, and Newmark finite difference (NFD) is employed to obtain the behaviors of parameters in time domain. The time histories of displacement and temperature fields across the thickness of the cylinder are obtained and the propagations of thermal and elastic waves are illustrated at various times. Using the GFD method, the wave front in temperature and elastic domains can be tracked, and the comparison between results based on GFD and other numerical methods shows very good agreement. The application of GFD method in coupled thermoelasticity problems has a high capability because it does not require a mesh generation. A comparison between the presented mesh-free GFD method and meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method shows a good agreement of the results.

Dispersion of Thermoelastic Waves in a Plate With and Without Energy Dissipation

In this paper, the dispersion and energy dissipation of thermoelastic plane harmonic waves in a thin plate bounded by insulated traction-free surfaces is studied on the basis of three generalized theories of thermoelasticity. The frequency equations corresponding to the symmetric and antisymmetric modes of vibration of the plate are obtained. Some limiting and particular cases of the frequency equations are then discussed. Results obtained in three theories of generalized thermoelasticity are compared. The results for the coupled thermoelasticity can be obtained as particular cases of the results by setting thermal relaxations times equal to zero. Numerical evaluations relating to the lower modes of the symmetric and antisymmetric waves are presented for an aluminum alloy plate.     

Magneto-rotation-fibre-reinforced thermoelastic with gravity and energy dissipation

In this article, two theories of the generalized thermoelasticity Green-Naghdi theory (of type II and III) are applied, as well as the coupled theory to study the effect of magnetic field and rotation under influence of gravity on 2D problem of a fibre-reinforced thermoelastic. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the expressions for the temperature, displacement components and the thermal stresses distributions. The resulting formulation is applied for two different concrete problems. The first concerns the case of a punch moving across the surface of semi-infinite thermoelastic half-space subjected to appropriate boundary conditions. The second deals with a thick plate subjected to a time-dependent heat source on each face. Numerical results are illustrated graphically for each problem considered. A comparison is made with the results predicted obtained by the two theories in the presence and absence of magnetic field, rotation and gravity field.

Thermoelastic wave characteristics in a hollow cylinder using the modified wave finite element method

This paper represents a modified formulation of the wave finite element (WFE) method for propagating analysis of thermoelastic waves in a hollow cylinder without energy dissipation. The 2D-high-order spectral element with the Gauss–Legendre–Lobatto integration is applied into the WFE method, which produces the diagonal mass matrix. Based on the assumption of harmonic displacement fields by Fourier series expansion, the general discretization wave equation is simplified from the 3D problem to 2D. Dispersion properties of elastic wave propagation in the hollow cylinder are computed considering the choice of the spectral element orders, and the results indicate the high efficiency and high accuracy of the modified formulation compared with that of the software Disperse. Then, using the modified formulation, the thermoelastic dynamic equation of the cylinder is derived from the generalized thermoelasticity theory. The propagation of the thermoelasticwave (including two kinds of wave modes) in the cylinder without energy dissipation is discussed in differentcases. Finally, wave structures along the radial direction of thermoelastic wave modes are shown at thenondimensional frequency 1.25, which can be used for the recognition of different modes.
