We use the Lagrange identity method and the logarithmic convexity to obtain uniqueness and exponential growth of solutions in the thermoelasticity of type III and thermoelasticity without energy dissipation. As this is not the first contribution of this kind in this theory, it is worth remarking that the assumptions we use here are different from those used in other previous contributions. We a...

In the present article, a comprehensive review of relevant literature is presented to highlight the role of fractional calculus in the field of thermoelasticity. This review is devoted to the generalizations of the classical heat conduction equation and formulation of associated theories of fractional thermoelasticity. The recently developed fractional order thermoelastic models are described w...

This system arises from a model of the nonlinear thermoelastic coupled vibration structure with the clamped ends for simultaneously considering the medium damping, the viscous effect and the nonlinear constitutive relation and thermoelasticity based on a theory of non-Fourier heat flux laws. By considering the case where the internal (structural) damping is present, for 0≤ ι < 1, we show that t...

In the present paper is concerned with study of thermoelastic interaction in an infinite KelvinVoigt type viscoelastic, thermally conducting solid bordered with viscous liquid half-spaces/layers of varying temperature. Complex secular equations in closed and isolated mathematical conditions for Rayleigh wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The results for coupled and uncou...

In this paper, the finite volume method is developed to analyze coupled dynamic problems of nonlinear thermoelasticity. The major focus is given to the description of martensitic phase transformations essential in the modelling of shape memory alloys. Computational experiments are carried out to study the thermo-mechanical wave interactions in a shape memory alloy rod, and a patch. Both mechani...

The paper reviews the method of complex potential functions developed by Green and Collins as applied to axisymmetric mixed boundary value problems in elasticity for the half-space. It is shown how the method can be applied to problems in several coupled potential functions such as adhesive and frictional contact problems, to problems involving annular regions and to problems in thermoelasticit...
