Abstract

A novel mathematical model in hygrothermoelastic theory has developed to describe heat and moisture distribution in a nonsimple medium. The model incorporates non-Fourier and non-Fick laws using a single phase-lag model to establish a relation between hygrothermoelasticity and unstable conduction processes. The model is applied to an ellipse-shaped composite material subjected to humid-heat loading. The Laplace and Mathieu integral transform was employed to obtain an exact solution of linearly coupled partial differential equations in an elliptical coordinate system. The Gaver–Stehfest algorithm is utilized for the inversion of Laplace functions. Berger’s approximation equation was employed to simplify the calculation of significant deformations for elliptic plates. The model also provides quantitative results for the composition of T300/5208, which consists of epoxy resin reinforced with graphite fibers. The hygrothermal behaviors due to the single-phase-lag time, geometry dimensions, material type, and the two temperatures are explored. The results reveal that nonclassical theories with single-phase-lag time and two-temperature have significant influences on the hygrothermoelastic behaviors in elliptic-shaped objects. The investigation can be effectually led using micro- and nano-elliptic shape resonators in future research.
