Three hnear two-dimensional coupled problems are considered dynamical ihermoelasticity, quasistatical thermoelasticity and consolidation ofclay In thejïrst two cases an équation parabolic with respect to the température T is coupled with a System of équations either hyperbolic or elhptic with respect to the displacement vector u, in the third case an équation elliptic with respect to the pressu...

We investigate the formation of singularities in thermoelasticity with second sound. Transforming into Euler coordinates and combining ideas from Sideris [14], used for compressible fluids, and Tarabek [15], used for small data large time existence in second sound models, we are able to show that there are in general no global smooth solutions for large initial data. In contrast to the situatio...

Formulations for a general theory of thermoelasticity to generate accurate thermal stresses for structural members of aeronautical vehicles were developed in 1954 by Boley. The formulation also provides three normal stresses and a shear stress along the entire length of the beam. The Poisson effect of the lateral and transverse normal stresses on a thermally loaded beam is taken into account in...

The Thermodynamics of linear irreversible processes is presented from a unified viewpoint. This provides a new and synthetic approach to the linear mechanics of deformation of solids, which includes as particular cases the classical theory of Elasticity, Thermoelasticity and Viscoelasticity. The first two sections constitute an introduction to the general concepts and principles of linear Therm...

Abstract The aim of the present paper is to study impact diffusion and impedance parameters on propagation plane waves in a thermoelastic medium for Green Lindsay theory (G-L) Coupled (C-T) thermoelasticity. Results are demonstrated boundary conditions amplitude ratios various reflected against angle incidence calculated numerically. characteristics diffusion, relaxation time impedence paramete...

Impact responses of rectangular composite plates with embedded shape memory alloy (SMA) wires are investigated in the present research. The plate is assumed to be placed in a thermal environment; so that in contrast to the available researches in the field, the shape memory and ferroelasticity effects have to be considered also in addition to the superelasticity. The governing equations are der...
