In this paper, a new theory of generalized micropolar thermoelasticity is derived by using fractional calculus. The generalized heat conduction equation in micropolar thermoelasticity has been modified with two distinct temperatures, conductive temperature and thermodynamic temperature by fractional calculus which depends upon the idea of the RiemannLiouville fractional integral operators. A un...

In this work, we are interested in obtaining existence, uniqueness of the solution and an approximate numerical solution for the model of linear thermoelasticity with moving boundary. We apply finite element method with finite difference for evolution in time to obtain an approximate numerical solution. Some numerical experiments were presented to show the moving boundary’s effects for problems...

We investigate the formation of singularities in thermoelasticity with second sound. Transforming into Euler coordinates and combining ideas from Sideris [14], used for compressible fluids, and Tarabek [15], used for small data large time existence in second sound models, we are able to show that there are in general no global smooth solutions for large initial data. In contrast to the situatio...

Formulations for a general theory of thermoelasticity to generate accurate thermal stresses for structural members of aeronautical vehicles were developed in 1954 by Boley. The formulation also provides three normal stresses and a shear stress along the entire length of the beam. The Poisson effect of the lateral and transverse normal stresses on a thermally loaded beam is taken into account in...

A study is made of the propagation of time-harmonic magneto-thermoviscoelastic plane waves in a homogeneous electrically conducting viscoelastic medium of Kelvin-Voigt type permeated by a primary uniform external magnetic field when the entire medium rotates with a uniform angular velocity. The generalized thermoelasticity theory of type II (Green and Naghdi model) is used to study the propagat...

It is seen how to write the standard form of the four partial differential equations in four unknowns of anisotropic thermoelasticity as a single equation in one variable, in terms of isothermal and isentropic wave operators. This equation, of diffusive type, is of the eighth order in the space derivatives and seventh order in the time derivatives and so is parabolic in character. After having ...

The problem of fully coupled thermoelasticity in a composite half-space is considered where the composite has variations in its physical properties in one direction only. The resulting one dimensional problem thus depends on the so called microscale of the composite. Homogenization of the fully coupled theory provides the leading order system of coupled equations (independent of the microscale)...
