A general solution to the field equations of a transversely isotropic thermoelastic
without energy dissipation and with two temperatures due to various sources has been obtained
in the transformed domain using the Laplace and Fourier transforms. As an application,
concentrated or distributed sources have been taken to illustrate the utility of the approach. The
transformed solutions are inverted numerically using a numerical inversion technique. The
result in the form displacement components, conductive temperature and stress components are
obtained numerically and illustrated graphically for particular model. Some special cases of
interest are also discussed for investigation.
Keywords: thermoelasticity; without energy dissipation; two-temperature; integral transforms; Laplace and Fourier transforms; concentrated and distributed sources. |
