Fundamental equations are derived for the mechanics of a fluidfilled porous medium under initial stress. The theory takes into account elastic and viscoelastic properties, including the most general case of anisotropy. It includes the theory of stability, and of acoustic propagation under initial stress, and by thermodynamic analogy the dynamics of a thermoelastic continuum under initial stress...

In this work, the problem of Rayleigh wave propagation is considered in the context of the theory of thermoelastic diffusion. The formulation is applied to a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic half space with mass diffusion at the stress free, isothermal, isoconcentrated boundary. Using the potential functions and harmonic wave solution, three coupled dilatational waves and a shear wave is obt...

The fundamental solution of the system of differential equations in bio-thermoelasticity with dual phase lag (DPL) in case of steady oscillations in terms of elementary function is constructed and basic property is established. The tissue is considered as an isotropic medium and the propagation of plane harmonic waves is studied. The Christoffel equations are obtained and modified with the ther...

In thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) of orthotropic laminated polymer composites, heat transfer influences the measured induced temperature change, or ‘thermoelastic response’. The composite constituents, including different fibre types, geometry, ply thickness and resin systems, in combination with manufacturing process means that, even for nominally identical materials, conditions are gener...

this paper presents a nonlinear model of a clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by an electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects. the frequency of free vibration is calculated by discretization based on the differential quadrature (dq) method. by separating the real and imaginary parts of frequency, the quality factor of thermoelastic damping is calculated. both the stretching a...

[1] It is known that GPS time series contain a seasonal variation that is not due to tectonic motions, and it has recently been shown that crustal seismic velocities may also vary seasonally. In order to explain these changes, a number of hypotheses have been given, among which thermoelastic and hydrology‐induced stresses and strains are leading candidates. Unfortunately, though, since a genera...
