A new hybrid numerical method based on the Laplace transform and control volume methods is proposed to analyze transient coupled thermoelastic problems with relaxation times involving a nonlinear radiation boundary condition. The dynamic thermoelastic model of Green and Lindsay is selected for the present study. The following computational procedure is followed for the solution of the present problem. The nonlinear term in the boundary condition is linearized by using the Taylor’s series approximation. Afterward, the time-dependent terms in the linearized equations are removed by the Laplace transform technique, and then the transformed field equations are discretized using the control volume method with suitable shape functions. The nodal dimensionless temperature and displacement in the transform domain are inverted to obtain the actual physical quantities, using the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform method. It is seen from various illustrative problems that the present method has good accuracy and efficiency in predicting the wave propagations of temperature, stress, and displacement. However, it should be noted that the distributions of temperature, stress, and displacement can experience steep jumps at their wavefronts. In the present study, the effects of the relaxation times on these thermoelastic waves are also investigated.

A boundary element method based on the Laplace transform technique is developed for transient coupled thermoelasticity problems with relaxation times in a two-dimensional finite domain. The dynamic thermoelastic model of Lord and Shulman (LS) is selected to show how mechanical and thermal energy conversion takes place in a coupled field. The Laplace transform method is applied to the time domain and the resulting equations in the transformed field are discretized using the boundary element method. The nodal dimensionless temperature and displacements in the transformed domain are inverted to obtain the actual physical quantities, using the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform method. The creation and propagation of elastic and thermoelastic waves in a finite domain and their effects on each other are investigated for the first time in this paper. Different relaxation times are chosen to show briefly the events that take place in temperature, displacement and stress fields considering the LS theory. Details of the formulation and numerical implementation are presented.

This paper deals with axisymmetric quasi-static coupled thermoelastic problems for multilayered spheres. Laplace transforms and finite difference methods are used to analyse the problems. Using the Laplace transform with respect to time, the general solutions of the governing equations are obtained in the transform domain. The solution is obtained by using the matrix similarity transformation and inverse Laplace transform. Solutions are obtained for the temperature and thermal deformation distributions for the transient and steady state. It is demonstrated that the computational procedures established in this paper are capable of solving the generalized thermoelasticity problem of multilayered spheres.

In this paper, the polarized neutron structure function [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] nucleus is investigated and an analytical solution based on the Laplace transform method for [Formula: see text] is presented. It is shown that the neutron spin structure function can be extracted directly from the polarized nuclear structure function of [Formula: see text]. The nuclear corrections due to the Fermi motion of the nucleons as well as the binding energy considerations are taken into account within the framework of the convolution approach and the polarized structure function of [Formula: see text] nucleus is expressed in terms of the spin structure functions of nucleons and the light-cone momentum distribution of the constituent nucleons. Then, the numerical results for [Formula: see text] are compared with experimental data of the SMC and HERMES collaborations. We found that there is an overall good agreement between the theory and experiments.

In this paper, we use the Laplace transform technique to examine the generalized solutions of the nth order Cauchy–Euler equations. By interpreting the equations in a distributional way, we found that whether their solution types are classical, weak or distributional solutions relies on the conditions of their coefficients. To illustrate our findings, some examples are exhibited.

The character and magnitude of traveling discontinuities in one-dimensional coupled transient thermoelastic problems are studied. For this purpose, 16 different fundamental problems are considered in detail, by examination of the nature of the solutions in the Laplace-transform domain. These problems correspond to various combinations of applied strain or stress as mechanical variables, and of applied temperature or heat flux as thermal variables. A system of classification of discontinuities is devised, which permits the results of the 16 problems to be extended to some general conclusions as to the character of the discontinuities in cases of arbitrary boundary conditions.

The present work is concerned with the investigation of disturbances in a homogeneous, isotropic elastic medium with memory-dependent derivatives (MDDs). A one-dimensional problem is considered for a half-space whose surface is traction free and subjected to the effects of thermodiffusion. For treatment of time variations, the Laplace-transform technique is utilized. The theories of coupled and of generalized thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time follow as limit cases. A direct approach is introduced to obtain the solutions in the Laplace transform domain for different forms of kernel functions and time delay of MDDs, which can be arbitrarily chosen. Numerical inversion is carried out to obtain the distributions of the considered variables in the physical domain and illustrated graphically. Some comparisons are made and shown in figures to estimate the effects of MDD parameters on all studied fields.
