Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical investigation of a functionally graded hydro-poroelastic semiconductor material subjected to photo-thermoelasticity theory. The material properties, including thermal conductivity, elasticity, and porosity, are assumed to vary spatially following a functionally graded distribution. A one-dimensional problem is formulated to analyze the coupled interactions between the hydro-semiconductor medium’s thermal, mechanical, and electronic transport phenomena. The governing equations incorporate hydrodynamic effects, poroelasticity, and semiconductor carrier transport under the influence of thermal and photonic excitation. The Laplace transform technique is employed to obtain analytical solutions in main physical fields. Numerical results are derived using inverse Laplace transformation, and the effects of functionally graded parameters on wave propagation and heat transport are examined. Graphical analysis illustrates the impact of grading index and porosity on the material’s response. The results highlight the significance of functional grading in tailoring the behavior of hydro-poroelastic semiconductors for advanced technological applications, including optoelectronic devices, photodetectors, and thermal management systems.
期刊介绍:
This interdisciplinary journal provides a forum for presenting new ideas in continuum and quasi-continuum modeling of systems with a large number of degrees of freedom and sufficient complexity to require thermodynamic closure. Major emphasis is placed on papers attempting to bridge the gap between discrete and continuum approaches as well as micro- and macro-scales, by means of homogenization, statistical averaging and other mathematical tools aimed at the judicial elimination of small time and length scales. The journal is particularly interested in contributions focusing on a simultaneous description of complex systems at several disparate scales. Papers presenting and explaining new experimental findings are highly encouraged. The journal welcomes numerical studies aimed at understanding the physical nature of the phenomena.
Potential subjects range from boiling and turbulence to plasticity and earthquakes. Studies of fluids and solids with nonlinear and non-local interactions, multiple fields and multi-scale responses, nontrivial dissipative properties and complex dynamics are expected to have a strong presence in the pages of the journal. An incomplete list of featured topics includes: active solids and liquids, nano-scale effects and molecular structure of materials, singularities in fluid and solid mechanics, polymers, elastomers and liquid crystals, rheology, cavitation and fracture, hysteresis and friction, mechanics of solid and liquid phase transformations, composite, porous and granular media, scaling in statics and dynamics, large scale processes and geomechanics, stochastic aspects of mechanics. The journal would also like to attract papers addressing the very foundations of thermodynamics and kinetics of continuum processes. Of special interest are contributions to the emerging areas of biophysics and biomechanics of cells, bones and tissues leading to new continuum and thermodynamical models.
