The purpose of this manuscript is to study the vibration characteristics of the spherically symmetric solid and hollow spheres poised of a homogeneous thermoelastic material, based on the three dimensional coupled thermoelasticity.

In this paper, matrix Fröbenius series solution is used to derive the frequency equations, for the field functions. Results have been applied on rigidly fixed boundary conditions.

The main finding of this paper is that the frequency of vibration of spherically symmetric sphere (structure is independent of theta and phi) increases with the increase of radius, for solid spheres and for hollow spheres with thickness to mean radius ratio. Deformation in the given materials increases with thickness to mean radius ratio of the hollow sphere.

A numerical simulation has been done with the help of functional iteration method for solid and hollow thermoelastic spheres made of zinc and poly methyl meth acrylate materials for different boundary conditions. The computer simulated results in contempt of frequency, damping of vibration modes and displacement have been obtained graphically and compared with the existed results.

The purpose of this paper is to present a model to analyze free vibrations in a transradially isotropic, thermoelastic hollow sphere subjected to stress free, thermally insulated or stress free, isothermal and rigidly fixed, thermally insulated or rigidly fixed, isothermal boundary conditions.

The potential functions along with spherical wave solution have been used to reduce the system of governing partial differential equations to a coupled system of ordinary differential equations in radial coordinates after employing non-dimensional quantities. Matrix Frobenius method of extended power series has been employed to obtain accurate solution of coupled differential equations in terms of radial coordinates. The mathematical model of the considered problem has been solved analytically to obtain the characteristics equations after imposing the appropriate boundary conditions at the outer and inner surfaces of the hollow sphere. The characteristic equations which govern various types of vibration modes expected to exist have been derived in the compact form. The special cases of spheroidal and toroidal modes of vibrations have been deduced from the characteristic equations and discussed.

The toroidal mode has been found to be independent of temperature change. The magnitude of lowest frequency and damping factor are significantly affected in the presence of thermal field and increase with an increase in the spherical harmonics in addition to geometry of the structure.

The matrix Frobenius method has been used to develop analytical solutions and functional iteration technique to carry out numerical simulations of such structures for the first time. The simulated results are presented graphically and compared with the available literature.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the thermo-diffusion process in a semi-infinite nonlocal fiber-reinforced double porous thermoelastic diffusive material with voids (FRDPTDMWV) in light of the fractional-order Lord–Shulman thermo-elasto-diffusion (LSTED) model. By virtue of Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory, the governing equations for the considered material are developed. The free surface of the substrate is governed by the inclined mechanical load and thermal and chemical shocks.

With the aid of the normal mode technique, the solutions of the nondimensional coupled governing equations have been obtained.

The expressions of field variables are obtained analytically. By using MATHEMATICA software, various graphical implementations are presented to describe the impacts of angle of inclination, fractional-order and nonlocality parameters. The present model is also validated on the basis of some comparative studies with some preestablished cases.

As observed from the literature survey, many different studies have been carried out by taking into account the deformation analysis in nonlocal double porous thermoelastic material structures and thermo-mechanical interaction in fiber-reinforced medium under fractional-order thermoelasticity theories. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research emphasizing the thermo-elasto-diffusive interactions in a nonlocal FRDPTDMWV has been carried out. Moreover, the effect of fractional-order LSTED theory on fiber-reinforced thermoelastic diffusive half-space with double porosity has not been illuminated till now, which significantly defines the novelty of the conducted research.

The purpose of this paper is to study a model of the equations of a two-dimensional problem in a half space, whose surface in a free micropolar thermoelastic medium possesses cubic symmetry as a result of inclined load. The problem is formulated in the context of Green-Naghdi theory of type II (G-N II) (without energy dissipation) and of type III (G-N III) (with energy dissipation) under the effect of magnetic field.

The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions of the physical quantities.

The numerical results are given and presented graphically when the inclined load and magnetic field are applied. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by G-N theory of both types II and III in the presence and absence of the magnetic field and for different values of the angle of inclination.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the two-dimensional disturbances in a nonlocal, functionally graded, isotropic thermoelastic medium under the purview of the Green–Lindsay model of generalized thermoelasticity. The formulation is subjected to a mechanical load. All the thermomechanical properties of the solid are assumed to vary exponentially with the position.

Normal mode technique is proposed to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement components, stresses and temperature field.

Numerical computations have been carried out with the help of MATLAB software and the results are illustrated graphically. These are also calculated numerically for a magnesium crystal-like material and illustrated through graphs. Theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that the nonlocality and nonhomogeneity parameters have significant effects on the considered physical fields.

Influences of nonlocality and nonhomogeneity on the physical quantities are carefully analyzed for isothermal and insulated boundaries. The present work is useful and valuable for analysis of problems involving mechanical shock, nonlocal parameter, functionally graded materials and elastic deformation.
