The purpose of this study is to introduce a modification of the homotopy perturbation method using Laplace transform and Padé approximation to obtain closed form solutions of nonlinear coupled systems of partial differential equations. Two test examples are given; the coupled nonlinear system of Burger equations and the coupled nonlinear system in one dimensional thermoelasticity. The results o...

In this paper, the finite volume method is developed to analyze coupled dynamic problems of nonlinear thermoelasticity. The major focus is given to the description of martensitic phase transformations essential in the modelling of shape memory alloys. Computational experiments are carried out to study the thermo-mechanical wave interactions in a shape memory alloy rod, and a patch. Both mechani...

We propose a systemof partial differential equations with a single constant delay τ > 0 describing the behavior of a one-dimensional thermoelastic solid occupying a bounded interval of R. For an initial-boundary value problem associated with this system, we prove a well-posedness result in a certain topology under appropriate regularity conditions on the data. Further, we show the solution of o...

The paper reviews the method of complex potential functions developed by Green and Collins as applied to axisymmetric mixed boundary value problems in elasticity for the half-space. It is shown how the method can be applied to problems in several coupled potential functions such as adhesive and frictional contact problems, to problems involving annular regions and to problems in thermoelasticit...

Abstract This paper is concerned to study temperature distribution, thermal stresses and displacement components for a magnetothermoelastic problem of a halfspace subjected to (i) moving heat source and (ii) moving load. Classical Dynamical Coupled, Lord-Shulman and Green Lindsay theories of thermoelasticity are used for mathematical analysis. It is found that the Lord-Shulman theory is more pr...
