In this paper we propose some thermodynamic theories of materials with internal variables. In concrete, we extend the arguments of the theories of the thermoelasticity of type I, II and III proposed by Green and Naghdi to the case of materials with internal variables. We state the system of equations in the linear case when the material is centrosymmetric. We end with an existence and uniquenes...

The present paper is aimed at studying the effect of gravity on the general model of the equations of the generalized thermomicrostretch for a homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space solid whose surface is subjected to a Mode-I crack problem. The problem is in the context of the Green and Naghdi theory (GN). The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement ...

In this paper, we study the well-posedness and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a laminated beam in thermoelasticity of type III. We first give the well-posedness of the system by using the semigroup method. Then, we show that the system is exponentially stable under the assumption of equal wave speeds. Furthermore, it is proved that the system is lack of exponential stability for case of n...

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...

In the present investigation the disturbances in a homogeneous transversely isotropic magneto-Visco thermoelastic rotating medium with two temperature due to thermomechanical sources has been addressed. The thermoelasticity theories developed by Green-Naghdi (Type II and Type III) both with and without energy dissipation has been applied to the thermomechanical sources. The Laplace and Fourier ...
