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...

The purpose of this research is to study the wave propagation in orthotropic generalized thermoelastic half-space with voids under initial stress. It is found that, for two dimensional model of orthotropic generalized thermoelastic material with voids under initial stress, there exists three quasi-longitudinal waves namely, quasi-longitudinal wave (QP-mode), quasi-longitudinal thermal wave (QPT...

Thermoelastic modeling at nanoscale is becoming more important as devices shrink and heat sources are widely used in modern industries, such nanoelectromechanical systems. However, the conventional thermoelastic theories no longer applicable high-temperature settings. This study provides an insight into thermomechanical features of a nonlocal viscous half-space exposed to cyclic source. Using n...

In this paper, the basic governing equations for isotropic and homogeneous generalized thermoelastic half-space under hydrostatic initial stress are formulated in the context of the Green and Naghdi theory of types II and III. These governing equations are solved analytically to obtain the dimensional velocities in an xy-plane. It is shown that there exist three plane waves, namely a thermal wa...
