A coupled magneto-thermoelastic problem in a perfectly conducting elastic half-space with thermal relaxation (Q914459): Difference between revisions

Summary: In the present paper we consider the magneto-thermoelastic wave produced by a thermal shock in a perfectly conducting elastic half-space. Here the Lord-Shulman theory of thermoelasticity [\textit{H. W. Lord} and \textit{Y. Shulman}, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 15, 299-309 (1967; Zbl 0156.227)] is used to account for the interaction between the elastic and thermal fields. The solution obtained in analytical form reduces to those of \textit{S. Kaliski} and \textit{W. Nowacki} [Bull. Acad. Pol. Sci., Ser. Sci. Tech. 10, 25-33 (1962; Zbl 0124.215)] when the coupling between the temperature and strain fields and the relaxation time are neglected. The results also agree with those of \textit{C. Massalas} and \textit{A. DaLamangas} [Int. J. Eng. Sci. 21, 171-178 (1983; Zbl 0498.73113)] in absence of the thermal relaxation time.
