A solution of the normal displacement of the elastic half-space under an arbitrarily distributed fast-moving heat source of constant velocity within the two-dimensional quasi-static, uncoupled thermoelasticity theory is presented. The surface of the half-space is allowed to dissipate heat by convection. Moreover, an example associated with the problem of elastohydrodynamics is given.

An asymptotic solution within the bounds of steady-state coupled thermoelastodynamic theory is given for the surface displacement and temperature due to a line mechanical/heat source that moves at a constant velocity over the surface of a half-space. This problem is of basic interest in the fields of contact mechanics and tribology, and an exact formulation is considered. The results may serve as a Green’s function for more general thermoelastodynamic contact problems. The problem may also be viewed as a generalization of the classical Cole-Huth problem and the associated Georgiadis-Barber correction. Asymptotic expressions are obtained by means of the two-sided Laplace transform, and by performing the inversions exactly. The range of validity of these expressions is actually quite broad, because of the small value of the thermoelastic characteristic length appearing in the governing equations.

A method is developed for obtaining fundamental thermal and thermoelastic solutions for thermal distributions moving over the surface of an elastic half space. This method uses the concept of a moving temperature wave along with a novel form of an exponential Fourier transform. The technique is developed and then demonstrated on the example of a moving heat source. Exact results are matched with results from Carslaw and Jaeger (1959) and Barber (1984).

An analytical frequency domain solution is obtained using the spatial Fourier transform for thermal and thermoelastic fields due to an arbitrary heat source or thermal distribution moving at constant speed over the surface of an insulated, traction free elastic half space. Conversions between the space and frequency domains for the input and output are performed efficiently and robustly using FFT techniques. The method is validated by comparison to the analytical result for the moving line heat source in which it is shown that numerical evaluation of the analytical solution is problematic for large speeds or distances from the heat source. The utility of the method is illustrated on the constant patch moving heat source and discretely distributed multiple heat sources known as the “hot spot” problem. It is shown, through several examples, that the effect of hot spots on surface displacement and tangential stress is small. Finally, this conclusion is generalized by quantifying the frequency domain solution for the moving heat source problem as a low pass filter.

Abstract The present study deals with two dimensional deformation, due to internal heat source in a thermoelastic microelongated solid. A mechanical force is applied along the interface of elastic half space and thermoelastic microelongated half space. The problem is in the context of Green Lindsay (GL) theory. The analytic expressions for displacement component, normal force stress, temperature distribution and microelongation have been derived. The effect of internal heat source and microelongation on the derived components have been depicted graphically.

Three-dimensional wave propagation in an elastic half space is considered. The half space is traction free on half its boundary, while the remaining part of the boundary is free of shear traction and is constrained against normal displacement by a smooth, rigid barrier. A time-harmonic surface wave, traveling on the traction free part of the surface, is obliquely incident on the edge of the barrier. The amplitude and the phase of the resulting reflected surface wave are determined by means of Laplace transform methods and the Wiener-Hopf technique. Wave propagation in an elastic half space in contact with two rigid, smooth barriers is then considered. The barriers are arranged so that a strip on the surface of uniform width is traction free, which forms a wave guide for surface waves. Results of the surface wave reflection problem are then used to geometrically construct dispersion relations for the propagation of unattenuated guided surface waves in the guiding structure. The rate of decay of body wave disturbances, localized near the edges of the guide, is discussed.
