Thermoelastic response of an elastic rod under the action of a moving heat source based on fractional order strain theory considering nonlocal effects

AbstractIn this paper, based on fractional order strain theory and nonlocal heat conduction theory, the thermoelastic response of an elastic rod rigidly fixed at both ends and subjected to a moving heat source is investigated. The nonlocal fractional order strain control equation is established, and the analytical expressions of dimensionless temperature, displacement, and stress are solved using the Laplace integral transformation and numerical inverse transformation. The distribution law of physical quantities such as temperature, displacement, and stress when the fractional parameters, heat source moving speed, and thermal nonlocal parameters change is obtained. The results show that strain parameters and thermal nonlocal parameters have less influence on thermal–mechanical waves, while heat source velocity has a significant influence on thermal–mechanical waves.Keywords: Fractional order strainnonlocal thermal effectsmoving heat sourceLaplace transformthermoelastic response Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [12062011 and 11972176].
