A solution of thermal shock problem of generalized thermoelasticity of a non-homogeneous isotropic hollow cylinder using finite element method is developed. Lord–Shulman and Green–Lindsay for the generalized thermoelasticity model are selected for that purpose which reduces to the classical model by appropriate choice of the parameters. The problem has been solved numerically using a finite element method (FEM). Numerical results ... Read more

In the present paper, the wave propagation on non-homogenous semiconductor through photo-thermal process has been studied by using the theory of coupled plasma and thermoelastic wave. Without neglecting the coupling between the plasma and thermoelastic wave that photo-generated through intensity modulated laser beam and tightly focused, a semiconducting isotropic elastic medium has non-homogeneity in thermal and elastic properties are considered. ...
