The present study is devoted to problem of propagating surfaces of weak
discontinuities of translational displacements, microrotations and temperature in type-I
micropolar (MP) thermoelastic (TE) continuum. Geometrical and kinematical compatibility
conditions due to Hadamard and Thomas are used to study possible wave surfaces of weak
discontinuities in MPTE-I continua. Weak discontinuities are discriminated according to
spatial orientations of the discontinuities polarization vectors (DPVs). It is shown that the
surfaces of weak discontinuities can propagate exist without weak discontinuities of the
temperature field.
Keywords: type-I micropolar thermoelastic continuum; translational displacements; microrotations; temperature; weak discontinuities |
