Abstract

This article represents a refined one-temperature thermoelastic model with higher order time derivatives and phase-lags for a Mode-I crack in a rotating fiber-reinforced solid. The crack is subjected to a stipulated temperature and normal stress. The exact expressions of displacement, temperature and stress components are obtained by normal mode analysis. Some generalized thermoelasticity theories are obtained as special cases. The convergency of the present refined model is tabulated and is compared with other theories. The variations of the temperature, displacements and stresses are presented graphically with the crack length to show the effect of phase-lags and thermal relaxation time through Refined-phase-lag (RPL), simple-phase-lag (SPL), Green-Naghdi (G-N) theory, Lord-Shulman (L-S) theory and the Coupled thermoelasticity (CTE) theory in the presence and absence of rotation.
