Response Of Fractional Order Theories Of Thermoelasticity In a Micropolar

Viscothermoelastic Solid

This article focuses on the response of fractional-order theories of thermoelasticity in a


micropolar visco-thermoelastic solid. The authors apply fractional-order theories of
thermoelasticity developed by Sherief et al., Ezzat, and Youssef, to study the interactions within
a micropolar visco-thermoelastic solid subjected to specific thermal and mechanical loads.
The problem is solved using Laplace and Fourier transform techniques to derive displacement,
stress, and temperature distribution equations in the transformed domain, followed by a
numerical inversion technique to recover these quantities in the physical domain.

Key concepts in the paper include:

• Micropolar thermoelasticity theory, which accounts for the granular nature of materials,
particularly useful in analyzing high-frequency vibrations.

• The use of fractional derivatives in the theory of thermoelasticity, a newer approach in


heat conduction, diffusion, and mechanical processes, to solve problems involving high
heat flux, low temperatures, and instantaneous heat inputs.

• The specific application of these theories to solve problems of a micropolar


viscothermoelastic half-space subjected to ramp-type heating or load.

Governing Equations:

The governing equations are formulated using the micropolar viscothermoelastic theory, where
material constants and parameters such as density, microinertia, and microrotation vector
components are defined. The equations include:

• Stress-strain relations for displacement and microrotation.

• Heat conduction equations incorporating fractional-order derivatives.

Problem Formulation:

The problem involves a homogeneous, isotropic, micropolar thermoelastic half-space


subjected to varying thermal and mechanical loads. The displacement components and
microrotation vector components are expressed in a two-dimensional form for simplification.

Boundary Conditions:

The two types of boundary conditions considered are:

1. Stress-Free Surface with Ramp-Type Heating: This boundary condition involves a


ramp-type increase in temperature, which depends on both the spatial coordinate
x1x_1x1 and time ttt.

2. Stress-Free Surface with Ramp-Type Load: In this condition, the normal load is
ramped while maintaining zero temperature change.

Numerical Results:

Numerical computations are carried out to evaluate the impact of the fractional-order
parameter on displacement, stresses, and temperature. The results show how viscosity affects
the normal stress, tangential stress, and tangential couple stress. The impact of different
fractional-order theories is compared, demonstrating varying behavior depending on the theory
applied.

Conclusion:

The study concludes that viscosity plays a dominant role in all the considered models,
particularly affecting normal stress and tangential stress. The Youssef model shows the most
significant impact of viscosity. The results are particularly relevant for applications in
geomechanics, seismic activities, and thermal stress measurements in engineering fields.
