Description
Summary:Two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric problems are considered within the context of the theory of thermoelasticity, with two relaxation times. The general solution is obtained in the Laplace transform domain by using a direct approach without the use of potential functions. The resulting formulation is utilized to solve a problem for a thick spherical shell. The surface of the shell is taken as traction free and subjected to given axisymmetric temperature distributions. The inversion of the Laplace transforms are carried out using the inversion formula of the transform together with Fourier expansion techniques. Numerical solutions are obtained for the temperature, displacement and stress distributions in the physical domain. Numerical results are represented graphically.
