Thermal stress analysis of thin films in the context of generalised thermoelasticity
by Toshio Furukawa, Toshiyasu Sueyoshi
International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Multiscale Mechanics (IJTAMM), Vol. 2, No. 1, 2011

Abstract: This study deals with the three-dimensional generalised thermoelasticity based on Lord and Shulman's theory and Green and Lindsay's theory. The fundamental equations which include both theories, are used. The thermoelastic problems for a homogeneous and isotropic film whose surfaces are traction free and subjected to a partial heating are analysed by means of the Laplace and Fourier transforms. The state space approach is used in the transformed domains. The inversion are carried out numerically. The numerical calculations for temperature and stresses are carried out. The influence of the finite velocity of the thermal wave grows as the film thins.
