Effect of Rotation in a Generalized Thermoelastic Medium with Hydrostatic Initial Stress Subjected to Ramp-Type Heating and Loading

Abstract

The present problem is concerned with the study of deformation of a rotating generalized thermoelastic medium with a hydrostatic initial stress. A linear temperature ramping function is used to more realistically model thermal loading of the half-space surface. The components of displacement, force stress, and temperature distribution are obtained in the Laplace and Fourier domains by applying integral transforms. The general solution obtained is applied to a specific problem of a half-space subjected to ramp-type heating and loading. These components are then obtained in the physical domain by applying a numerical inversion method. Some particular cases are also discussed in the context of the problem. The results are also presented graphically to show the effect of rotation and hydrostatic initial stress.
