Analysis of wave motion and deformation in elastic plate based on two temperature theory of thermoelasticity

This article explores the effects of two temperatures on the combined problem of wave propagation and thermomechanical loading in a homogeneous isotropic plate. The governing equations are converted to non-dimensional form, and the potential functions are introduced to simplify the problem. The plate's surfaces are assumed to be traction-free, rigidly fixed, thermally insulated and isothermal to study the wave propagation phenomenon. Secular...
