Thermal shock problem for one-dimensional generalized thermoelastic layered composite material (Q2455819)

Summary: We perform a dynamic treatment of one-dimensional generalized thermoelastic problem on heat conduction for a layered thin plate exposed to a uniform thermal shock. The basic equations are transformed by Laplace transform and solved by direct method. The solution is applied to a sandwich plate. The inverses of Laplace transforms are obtained numerically. The temperature, stress and displacement distributions are presented in graphs for coupled and generalized cases.
