Nonlocal response of multi‐field coupling elastic medium based on fractional order strain

Abstract

AbstractIn this work, a three‐dimensional model of the generalized thermoelasticity with fractional order stain and nonlocal effect is established. Nonlocal effect is used to depict size‐dependence feature and fractional order strain is considered to describe memory‐dependence properties. The Laplace and double Fourier transform techniques are applied to the three‐dimensional half‐space model subjected to thermal shock and traction free surface. A complex inversion formula of the transform with the techniques of the Fourier expansion been applied to obtain the inverses of double Fourier transforms, and Laplace transforms. Numerical results for the temperature, stress, strain and displacement are represented graphically based on various values of the fractional order strain parameter and elastic nonlocal parameter. The fractional order strain and nonlocal parameter has a limited effect on the thermal waves while it has significant effects on the mechanical waves.
