In this article, the generalized thermoelastic theory with one relaxation time is used to investigate the internal penny-shaped crack problem in an unbounded thermoelastic material. The boundary of the crack is subjected to a prescribed stress distribution and temperature. The problem has been solved numerically using a finite element method. The results of the temperature, displacement components, and stress components ... إقراء المزيد

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 ... إقراء المزيد
