Internal Heat Source in Temperature Rate Dependent Thermoelastic Medium with Hydrostatic Initial Stress

The present work is devoted to study the effect of hydrostatic initial stress in an infinite isotropic generalized thermoelastic medium with the dependence of modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity on the reference temperature. In view of calculating general problems, a numerical solution technique is to be used. For this purpose, the normal mode analysis method is chosen. The results for the displacement components, force stress and temperature distribution are illustrated graphically with some comparisons. The numerical results are given and presented graphically for Lord–Shulman theory of thermoelasticity when mechanical force is applied.
