Effect of Two Temperatures and Thermal Phase-lags in a Thick Plate due to a Ring Load with Axisymmetric Heat Supply

Abstract

The present investigation concerns thermomechanical interactions in a homogeneous isotropic thick plate in the light of the two-temperature thermoelasticity theory with dual phase lag due to a ring load. The upper and lower ends of the thick plate are traction free and subjected to an axisymmetric heat supply. The solution is obtained by using Laplace and Hankel transform techniques. The analytical expressions of displacement components, stresses, conductive temperature, temperature change and cubic dilatation are computed in a transformed domain. The numerical inversion technique has been applied to obtain the results in the physical domain. Numerically simulated results are depicted graphically. The effect of thermal phase-lags and two temperatures are shown on the various components. Some particular cases of the result are also deduced from the present investigation.
