Propagation of thermal elastic waves in a medium with heat-flux relaxation constant

Definitions

Thermoelastic waves are the solutions of the equations of coupled thermoelasticity. In the case of hyperbolic thermoelasticity, the solution is the sum of two traveling waves. The first terms are called quasithermal components, and the second terms are quasielastic components. These components of thermoelastic waves propagate in the medium with different velocities, dispersion, and attenuation rate.

Introduction

Propagation of thermoelastic waves may be useful for determining the thermomechanical characteristics of micro- and nanoscale objects, such as thin plates and rods, which are used in micro- and nanoelectromechanical devices (MEMS and NEMS). Temperature substantially affects the thermomechanical properties of layered nanomaterials, since the thinner the layer, the more it is sensitive to temperature effects (Haque and Saif, 2005). A number of...
