- Expounds the dynamic thermoelasticity governed by hyperbolic equations
- Extensively covers the mathematics of two leading theories of hyperbolic thermoelasticity: the Lord-Shulman (or one relaxation time) theory, and the Green-Lindsay (or two relaxation times) theory
- In-depth coverage of: thermoelastic polynomials, existence and uniqueness theorems, variational principles, central equation of hyperbolic thermoelasticity, solution methods for periodic and aperiodic cases, and moving discontinuity surfaces
- Makes connections to several other generalized thermoelasticity theories and models, including the nonlinear hyperbolic rigid heat conductor of the Coleman type
- Reviews several applications of hyperbolic thermoelasticity, such as thermoelastic damping, chiral and fractal materials, and surface waves
- Extensive bibliography
Generalized dynamic thermoelasticity is a vital area of research in continuum mechanics, free of the classical paradox of infinite propagation speeds of thermal signals in Fourier-type heat conduction. Besides that paradox, the classical dynamic thermoelasticity theory offers either unsatisfactory or poor descriptions of a solid's response at low temperatures or to a fast transient loading (say, due to short laser pulses). Several models have been developed and intensively studied over the past four decades, yet this book, which aims to provide a point of reference in the field, is the first monograph on the subject since the 1970s.
Thermoelasticity with Finite Wave
Speeds focuses on dynamic thermoelasticity governed by hyperbolic equations, and, in particular, on the two leading theories: that of Lord-Shulman (with one relaxation time), and that of Green-Lindsay (with two relaxation times). While the resulting field equations are linear partial differential ones, the complexity of the theories is due to the coupling of mechanical with thermal fields. The mathematical aspects of both theories - existence and uniqueness theorems, domain of influence theorems, convolutional variational principles - as well as the methods for various initial/boundary value problems are explained and illustrated in detail and several applications of generalized thermoelasticity are reviewed.Readership:
Graduates and researchers in mathematics and engineering.
