Effect of relaxation time on generalized double porosity thermoelastic medium with diffusion
Mohamed I.A. Othman and Nehal T. Mansour
Abstract
This paper studies the effect of the relaxation time on a two-dimensional thermoelastic medium which has a doubly
porous structure in the presence of diffusion and gravity. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the analytic expressions of
the physical quantities, which we take the solution form in the exponential image. We have discussed a homogeneous
thermoelastic half-space with double porosity with the effect of diffusion and gravity. The equations of generalized thermoelastic
material with double porosity structure with one relaxation time have been developed. Moreover, the expressions of many
physical quantities are explained. The general solutions, under specific boundary conditions of the problem, were found in some
detail. In addition, numerical results are computed.
