The present investigation is to study the plane problem in initially stressed thermoelastic half-space with voids due to thermal source. Lord-Shulman (Lord and Shulman 1967) theory of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. A particular type of thermal source has been taken as an application of the approach. Finite element technique has been used ... Read more

The present investigation is to study the plane problem in a homogeneous isotropic micropolar thermoelastic half-space with void in the context of Lord-Shulman, Green-Lindsay and coupled thermoelasticity (CT) theories. The problem is investigated due to normal force, tangential force and thermal source. Finite element method technique has been used to solve the problem. The components of displacement, microrotation, stress, temperature ... Read more
