Effect of thermal conductivity on isotropic modified couple stress thermoelastic medium with two temperatures
Harpreet Kaur and Parveen Lata
Abstract
The objective is to study the deformation in a homogeneous isotropic modified couple stress thermoelastic medium with mass diffusion and with two temperatures due to a thermal source and mechanical force. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are applied to obtain the solutions of the governing equations. The displacements, stress components, conductive temperature, mass concentration and couple stress are obtained in the transformed domain. Numerical inversion technique has been used to obtain the solutions in the physical domain. Isothermal boundary and insulated boundaryconditions are used to investigate the problem. Some special cases of interest are also deduced.
