We consider the system of dual-phase-lag thermoelasticity proposed by Chandrasekharaiah and Tzou. First, we prove that the solutions of the problem are generated by a semigroup of quasi-contractions. Thus, the problem of third-order in time is well-posed. Then the expontial stability is investigated. Finally the spatial behavior of solutions is analyzed in a semi-infinite cylinder and a resuult...

The study of the effect microstructure is important and most evident in elastic vibrations high frequency short-wave duration. In addition to deformation caused by temperature acting forces, theory micropolar thermoelasticity applied investigate materials when vibration their atoms or molecules increased. This paper addresses a two-dimensional problem involving thermoelastic micro-polar half-sp...

In this paper, we will give a global existence theorem in one-dimensional thermoelasticity with second sound in R. For this purpose, we first give the decay rates of the linearized equations with the help of Fourier sine and cosine transformation and the local existence theorem using theorems for quasi-linear symmetric hyperbolic systems. Then we establish some estimates in L, L and L∞ norms to...

First we prove an exponential decay result for solutions of the equations of linear, homogeneous, isotropic thermoelasticity in bounded regions in two or three space dimensions if the rotation of the displacement vanishes. As a consequence, we describe the decay in radially symmetrical situations, and in a cylinder in R3. Then we establish the global existence of solutions to the corresponding ...

A dynamical two dimensional problem of generalized thermoelasticity has been considered to examine the stresses in an isotropic elastic slab. Laplace transform for time variable and exponential Fourier transform for space variable has been applied in the basic equations to form a vector-matrix differential equation which is then solved by eigenvalue approach. Finally numerical computations of t...
