under the effect of temperature dependent properties is established. The modulus of elasticity is taken as a linear function on reference temperature. The formulation is applied under three theories of the generalized thermoelasticity: Lord‐Shulman and Green‐Naghdi (of type II) without energy dissipation, as well as the coupled theory. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the expressions for the temperature, displacement components and the thermal stresses distributions. Numerical results are illustrated graphically for each problem considered. A Comparison is made with the results predicted by the three theories in the presence and absence of magnetic field and with the case where the modulus of elasticity is independent of temperature.

The purpose of this paper is to study the transient waves caused by a line heat source with a stable internal heat source inside isotropic homogenous thermoelastic perfectly conducting half‐space permeate into a uniform magnetic field. The formulation is applied under three theories of generalized thermoelasticity Lord‐Shulman (L‐S) theory with one relaxation time, Green‐Lindsay (G‐L) theory with two relaxation times, as well as the classical dynamical coupled theory.

The results are graphically described for the medium of copper. We can conclude that the magnetic field has a great effect on the displacement components and this effect produces the same trend under the three theories. The results show that the relaxation times have salient effect to the distribution of displacement at small values of time.

The purpose of this paper is to study the transient thermoelastic interactions in a nonlocal rotating magneto-thermoelastic medium with temperature-dependent properties. Three-phase-lag (TPL) model of generalized thermoelasticity is employed to study the problem. An initial magnetic field with constant intensity acts parallel to the bounding plane. Therefore, Maxwell's theory of electrodynamics has been effectively introduced and the expression for Lorentz's force is obtained with the help of modified Ohm's law.

The purpose of this paper is to frame a dual-phase-lag model using the fractional theory of thermoelasticity with relaxation time. The generalized Fourier law of heat conduction based upon Tzou model that includes temperature gradient, the thermal displacement and two different translations of heat flux vector and temperature gradient has been used to formulate the heat conduction model. The microstructural interactions and corresponding thermal changes have been studied due to the involvement of relaxation time and delay time translations. This results in achieving the finite speed of thermal wave. Classical coupled and generalized thermoelasticity theories are recovered by considering the various special cases for different order of fractional derivatives and two different translations under consideration.

The work presented in this manuscript proposes a dual-phase-lag mathematical model of a thick circular plate in a finite cylindrical domain subjected to axis-symmetric heat flux. The model has been designed in the context of fractional thermoelasticity by considering two successive terms in Taylor’s series expansion of fractional Fourier law of heat conduction in the two different translations of heat flux vector and temperature gradient. The analytical results have been obtained in Laplace transform domain by transforming the original problem into eigenvalue problem using Hankel and Laplace transforms. The numerical inversions of Laplace transforms have been achieved using the Gaver−Stehfast algorithm, and convergence criterion has been discussed. For illustrative purpose, the dual-phase-lag model proposed in this manuscript has been applied to a periodically varying heat source. The numerical results have been depicted graphically and compared with classical, fractional and generalized thermoelasticity for various fractional orders under consideration.

A dual-phase-lag model can effectively be incorporated to study the transient heat conduction problems for an exponentially decaying pulse boundary heat flux and/or for a short-pulse boundary heat flux in long solid tubes and cylinders. This model is also applicable to study the various effects of the thermal lag ratio and the shift time. These dual-phase-lag models are also practically applicable in the problems of modeling of nanoscale heat transport problems of semiconductor devices and accordingly semiconductors can be classified as per their ability of heat conduction.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of transient wave phenomena in a micropolar thermoelastic half-space subjected to inclined load. The governing equations are formulated in the context of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity theory with DPLs. A medium is assumed to be initially quiescent and under the effect of gravity. An analytical solution of the problem is obtained by employing normal mode analysis.

The linear theory of elasticity is of paramount importance in the stress analysis of steel, which is the commonest engineering structural material. To a lesser extent, the linear elasticity describes the mechanical behavior of the other common solid materials, e.g. concrete, wood and coal. However, the theory does not apply to the behavior of many of the newly synthetic materials of the elastomer and polymer type, e.g. polymethyl‐methacrylate (Perspex), polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride.

Comparisons are made with the results in the presence and absence of gravity and initially applied magnetic field with two cases: the first for the generalized micropolar thermoelasticity elastic medium (without stretch constants) between both types (II, III); and the second for the generalized magneto‐thermoelastic medium with stretch (without micropolar constants) between both types (II, III).

A two‐dimensional coupled problem in electromagneto‐thermoelasticity for a thermally and electrically conducting half‐space solid whose surface is subjected to a thermal shock is considered. The problem is in the context of the Lord and Shulman’s generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time. There acts an initial magnetic field parallel to the plane boundary of the half‐space. The medium deformed because of thermal shock and due to the application of the magnetic field, there result an induced magnetic and an induced electric field in the medium. The Maxwell’s equations are formulated and the electromagneto‐thermoelastic coupled governing equations are established. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions for the considered variables. The distributions of the considered variables are represented graphically. From the distributions, it can be found the wave type heat propagation in the medium. 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 medium. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by the coupled theory for two values of time.
