Abstract
A new nonlocal theory of generalized thermoelasticity with voids based on Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity is established. The propagation of plane harmonic waves in nonlocal thermoelastic medium with voids is investigated in the context of dual-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity. There exist three longitudinal waves, namely elastic (E-mode), thermal (T-mode) and volume fraction (V-mode) in addition to transverse waves which get decoupled from the rest of motion and not affected by thermal and volume fraction fields. The fundamental solution of the system of differential equations in case of steady oscillations in terms of the elementary functions has been constructed. The effect of nonlocal parameter and the effect of voids on phase velocities, attenuation coefficients and penetration depths are presented graphically.
