Thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic unbounded medium due to moving heat source using GNIII model

Abstract

In this work, we study a problem of thermoelastic interaction due to moving heat source in an isotropic infinite medium under Green and Naghdi model of type III (GNIII). The form of vector-matrix differential equation in the Laplace transform domain, the basic equations have been written, which is then solved by an eigenvalue technique. The analytical solution in the Laplace transforms domain with eigenvalue approach has been obtained. Numerical results for the displacement, temperature and the stress distributions are represented graphically. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effect of heat source velocity and time in the physical quintets.
