In this work, the new model of photothermal and elastic waves, with and without energy dissipation, under a hyperbolic two-temperature model, is used to compute the displacement, carrier density, thermodynamic temperature, conductive temperature and stress in a semiconductor medium. The medium is considered in the presence of the coupling of plasma and thermoelastic waves. To get the complete analytical expressions of the main physical fields, Laplace transforms and the eigenvalue scheme are used. The outcomes are presented graphically to display the differences between the classical two-temperature theory and the new hyperbolic two-temperature theory, with and without energy dissipation. Based on the numerical results, the hyperbolic two-temperature thermoelastic theory offers a finite speed of mechanical waves and propagation of thermal waves.

The linear theory of thermoelasticity without energy dissipation is employed to study waves emanating from the boundary of a spherical cavity in a homogeneous and isotropic unbounded thermoelastic body. The waves are supposed to be spherically symmetric and caused by a constant step in temperature applied to the stress-free boundary of the cavity. Small-time solutions for the displacement, temperature, and stress fields are obtained by using the Laplace transform technique. It is found that there exist two coupled waves, of which one is predominantly elastic and the other is predominantly thermal, both propagating with finite speeds but with no exponential attenuation. Exact expressions for discontinuities in the field functions that occur at the wavefronts are computed and analysed. The results are compared with those obtained earlier in the contexts of some other models of thermoelasticity.
