In this work, a generalized solution for the thermoelastic plane wave in a semi-infinite solid induced by pulsed laser heating is developed. The solution takes into account the non-Fourier effect in heat conduction and the coupling effect between temperature and strain rate, which play significant roles in ultrashort pulsed laser heating. Based on this solution, calculations are conducted to st...

Knee meniscus is a hydrated tissue; it is a fibrocartilage of the knee joint composed primarily of water. We present results of interferometric surface monitoring by which we measure physical properties of human knee meniscal cartilage. The physical response of biological tissue to a short laser pulse is primarily thermomechanical. When the pulse is shorter than characteristic times (thermal di...

Cu In1−xGax Se2 CIGS films were grown on 001 GaAs at 570 or 500 °C by means of metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy. All films were Cu-rich Cu/ In+Ga 1 with pseudomorphic Cu2Se second phase particles found only on the growth surface. During growth, diffusion of Ga from the substrate and vacancies generated by the formation of CIGS from Cu2Se at the surface occurred. The diffusion processes lead to...

The present investigation deals with the deformation in micropolar generalized thermoelastic medium with mass diffusion subjected to thermo mechanical loading due to thermal laser pulse. Laplace and Fourier transform technique is used to solve the problem. Concentrated normal force and thermal source are taken to illustrate the utility of approach. The closed form expressions of normal stress, ...

23  Abstract— The present investigation is concerned with effect of rotation on the wave propagation of generalized thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time. The exact expressions for temperature, the displacement components, stress components, chemical potential and concentration are obtained and represented graphically. Numerical computations are carried out and are obtained by using...

The present article investigates the elasto-thermodiffusive interactions in a transversely isotropic elastic medium in the context of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time parameter and two relation time parameters. The resulting non-dimensional coupled equations are applied to a specific problem of a half-space in which the surface is free of tractions and is subjected to time-dependent th...

The main aim is to study the two dimensional axisymmetric problem of thick circular plate in modified couple stress theory with heat and mass diffusive sources. The thermoelastic theories with mass diffusion developed by Sherief et al. [1] and kumar and Kansal [2] have been used to investigate the problem. Laplace and Hankel transforms technique is applied to obtain the solutions of the governi...

The general solution of the equations for a homogeneous isotropic microstretch thermo elastic medium with mass diffusion for two dimensional problems is obtained due to normal and tangential forces. The Integral transform technique is used to obtain the components of displacements, microrotation, stress and mass concentration, temperature change and mass concentration. A particular case of inte...

In this paper we investigate the time decay of solutions for a thermoelastic plate with voids in cases when heat conduction is modeled by Fourier law and it type III theory (with without inertial term). all situations show that, general, strong stability holds. particular, slow case, that is, do not exponentially to zero (in general). However, if coefficients satisfy new relationship involving ...
