Thermo-Optical Mechanical Waves in a Rotating Solid Semiconductor Sphere Using the Improved Green–Naghdi III Model

The current study investigates thermophotovoltaic interactions using a new mathematical model of thermoelasticity established on a modification of the Green–Naghdi model of type III (GN-III). The basic equations, in which the heat transfer is in the form of the Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) equation, are derived by adding a single delay factor to the GN-III model. The impact of temperature and electrical elastic displacement of semiconductors throughout the excited thermoelectric mechanism can be studied theoretically using this model. The proposed model was used to investigate the interactions between the processes of thermoelastic plasma in a rotating semiconductor solid sphere that was subjected to a thermal shock and crossed to an externally applied magnetic field. The influence of rotation parameters on various photothermal characteristics of silicon solid was presented and explored using the Laplace technique

The Response of Nanobeams with Temperature-Dependent Properties Using State-Space Method via Modified Couple Stress Theory

At present, with the development in nanotechnology, nanostructures with temperature-dependent properties have been used in nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS). Thus, introducing an accurate mathematical model of nanobeams with temperature-dependent properties is a major and important topic for the design of NEMS. This paper aims to discuss nonlocal nanobeams analysis depending on the theories of Euler–Bernoulli and modified couple-stress (MCS). It also is assumed that the thermal conductivity of the nanobeam is dependent on the temperature. Physical fields of the nanobeam are obtained utilizing Laplace transform and state-space techniques. The effects of the size and nonlocal parameters, variability of thermal conductivity and couple stress on various distributions are presented graphically and studied in detail. Numerical results are presented as application scales and the design of nanoparticles, nanoscale oscillators, atomic force microscopes, and nanogenerators, in which nanoparticles as nanobeams act as essential and basic elements

The Size-Dependent Thermoelastic Vibrations of Nanobeams Subjected to Harmonic Excitation and Rectified Sine Wave Heating

In this article, a nonlocal thermoelastic model that illustrates the vibrations of nanobeams is introduced. Based on the nonlocal elasticity theory proposed by Eringen and generalized thermoelasticity, the equations that govern the nonlocal nanobeams are derived. The structure of the nanobeam is under a harmonic external force and temperature change in the form of rectified sine wave heating. The nonlocal model includes the nonlocal parameter (length-scale) that can have the effect of the small-scale. Utilizing the technique of Laplace transform, the analytical expressions for the studied fields are reached. The effects of angular frequency and nonlocal parameters, as well as the external excitation on the response of the nanobeam are carefully examined. It is found that length-scale and external force have significant effects on the variation of the distributions of the physical variables. Some of the obtained numerical results are compared with the known literature, in which they are well proven. It is hoped that the obtained results will be valuable in micro/nano electro-mechanical systems, especially in the manufacture and design of actuators and electro-elastic sensors

A generalized thermoelastic medium subjected to pulsed laser heating via a two-temperature model

This article investigates stress and induced temperature in an isotropic, homogeneous, thermoelastic half-space using a two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity model. The bounding plane surface of the present half-space continuum is subjected to a non-Gaussian laser pulse. Laplace’s transform space is considered to deduce a closed-form solution to the problem. In addition, the inversions of Laplace’s transformations have been carried numerically to obtain field quantities in the transient state. The effects of parameters of two-temperature, laser-pulse and laser intensity are investigated. A concluding remark for the graphical forms of the derived expressions is presented

Generalized thermoelastic interactions due to an inclined load at a two-temperature half-space

The article presents a two-temperature theory to study the thermally insulated stress-free surface of a thermoelastic solid half-space due to an inclined load. The inclined load is a linear combination of a normal load and a tangential load. The normal mode analysis has been employed to solve the present problem. Variations of conductive and thermodynamic temperatures, displacements, and stresses distributions with the horizontal distance have been presented graphically. Some comparisons have been made to estimate the effects due to the two-temperature parameter and the inclination angle on the field quantities. Results of earlier works have been deduced from the present investigation as special cases

Two-temperature theory for a heated semi-infinite solid by a pulsed laser radiation

In this paper, the two-temperature thermoelasticity model is proposed to a specific problem of a thermoelastic semi-infinite solid. The bounding plane surface of the semi-infinite solid is considered to be under a non-Gaussian laser pulse. Generalized thermoelasticity analysis with dual-phase-lags is taken into account to solve the present problem. Laplace transform and its inversion techniques are applied and an analytical solution as well as its numerical outputs of the field variables are obtained. The coupled theory and other generalized theory with one relaxation time may be derived as special cases. Comparison examples have been made to show the effect of dual-phase-lags, temperature discrepancy, laser-pulse and laser intensity parameters on all felids. An additional comparison is also made with the theory of thermoelasticity at a single temperature

Thermoelastic Analysis of Functionally Graded Nanobeams via Fractional Heat Transfer Model with Nonlocal Kernels

The small size and clever design of nanoparticles can result in large surface areas. This gives nanoparticles enhanced properties such as greater sensitivity, strength, surface area, responsiveness, and stability. This research delves into the phenomenon of a nanobeam vibrating under the influence of a time-varying heat flow. The nanobeam is hypothesized to have material properties that vary throughout its thickness according to a unique exponential distribution law based on the volume fractions of metal and ceramic components. The top of the FG nanobeam is made entirely of ceramic, while the bottom is made of metal. To address this issue, we employ a nonlocal modified thermoelasticity theory based on a Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) thermoelastic framework. By combining the Euler–Bernoulli beam idea with nonlocal Eringen’s theory, the fundamental equations that govern the proposed model have been constructed based on the extended variation principle. The fractional integral form, utilizing Atangana–Baleanu fractional operators, is also used to formulate the heat transfer equation in the suggested model. The strength of a thermoelastic nanobeam is improved by performing detailed parametric studies to determine the effect of many physical factors, such as the fractional order, the small-scale parameter, the volume fraction indicator, and the periodic frequency of the heat flow
