The effect of magnetic field on a thermoelastic fiber-reinforced material under GN-III theory
Faris S. Alzahrani and Ibrahim A. Abbas
Abstract
In this work, the two-dimensional generalized magneto-thermoelastic problem of a fiber-reinforced anisotropic material is investigated under Green and Naghdi theory of type III. The solution will be obtained for a certain model when the half space subjected to ramp-type heating and traction free surface. Laplace and exponential Fourier transform techniques are used to obtain the analytical solutions in the transformed domain by the eigenvalue approach. The inverses of Fourier transforms are obtained analytically. The results have been verified numerically and are represented graphically. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by the presence and absence of reinforcement and magnetic field.
