Uniqueness and spatial stability are investigated for smooth solutions to boundary value problems in non-classical linearised and linear thermoelasticity subject to certain conditions on material coefficients. Uniqueness is derived for standard boundary conditions on bounded regions using a generalisation of Kirchhoff’s method. Spatial stability is discussed for the semi-infinite prismatic cyli...

The purposes of this article are to present new aspects of modeling multi-physically coupled fields, focusing particularly on the partitioned treatment of electro-thermo-mechanical problems. Coupled problems of this kind occur in many industrial applications, such as micro-electrical devices, field-assisted sintering processes or electrical fuses. In this paper, we restrict ourselves to the cas...

We present a new adaptive hp-FEM for linear thermoelasticity where each displacement component and the temperature are approximated on different meshes which are equipped with individual energy-based adaptivity mechanisms. We demonstrate that the multimesh hp-FEM can capture individual behavior of every solution component more efficiently than standard hp-FEM. AMS subject classification: 35B50,...

In this work, we apply the fractional order theory of thermoelasticity to a 1D problem of an infinitely long cylindrical cavity. Laplace transform techniques are used to solve the problem. Numerical results are computed and represented graphically for the temperature, displacement and stress distributions.

In this paper, by using Nagy-Foias-Foguel’s theory of decomposition of continuous semigroups of contractions, we prove that the system of linear elasticity is strongly stabilizable by a Dirichlet boundary feedback. We also give a concise proof of a theorem of Dafermos about the stability of thermoelasticity.

An interesting and useful analogy can be drawn between the equations of static poroelasticity and the equations of thermoelasticity including entropy. The correspondence is of practical use in determining the effective parameters in an inhomogeneous poroelastic medium using known results from the literature on the effective thermal expansion coefficient and the effective heat capacity of a diso...
