Magnetothermoelastic Problem of a Half-Space Subjected to Moving Heat Source and Moving Load

摘要

This paper is concerned to study temperature distribution, thermal stresses and displacement components for a magnetothermoelastic problem of a half-space subjected to (i) moving heat source and (ii) moving load. Classical Dynamical Coupled, Lord-Shulman and Green Lindsay theories of thermoelasticity are used for mathematical analysis. It is found that the Lord-Shulman theory is more pronounced than coupled theory and Green Lindsay theories. Numerical computations have been performed for computing temperature, stresses and displacement for these theories. The results obtained using these theories are compared and depicted graphically.
