In the present work, frequency equations are obtained for Rayleigh-Lamb wave propagation in a transversely isotropic plate of thermoelastic material, in the context generalized theory of thermoelasticity. The thickness of the plate is taken to be finite and the faces of the plate are assumed isolated and free from stresses. The analytical solution for the temperature, displacement components and stresses ... Read more

In the present work, we obtain a dispersion relation for Rayleigh–Lamb wave propagation in a plate of thermoelastic material. For this aim, we consider the theory of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time. The thickness of the plate is taken to be finite and the faces of the plate are assumed to be isothermal and free from stresses. We obtain ... Read more

The aim of the present paper is to study the wave propagation in anisotropic viscoelastic medium in the context of the theory threephase- lag model of thermoelasticity. It is found that there exist two quasi-longitudinal waves (qP1, qP2) and two transverse waves (qS1, qS2). The governing equations for homogeneous transversely isotropic thermoviscoelastic are reduced as a special case from the ... Read more
