Plane Strain Deformation In Thermoelastic Microelongated Solid

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the two dimensional deformation in a thermoelastic microelongated solid. A mechanical force is applied along the interface of fluid half space and thermoelastic microelongated half space. The normal mode analysis has been applied to obtain the exact expressions for displacement component, force stress and temperature distribution. The effect of microelongation on the displacement component, force stress and temperature distribution has been depicted graphically for Green-Lindsay (GL) theory of thermoelasticity.
