Effect of rotation and relaxation times on plane waves in generalized thermo-visco-elasticity.
In this work we prove that the thermoelastic equilibrium problem in the context of the linear theory for thermoelastic incompressible solids has one and only one solution.
We study the thermoelastic system for material which are partially thermoelastic. That is, a material divided into two parts, one of them a good conductor of heat, so there exists a thermoelastic phenomenon. The other is a bad conductor of heat so there is not heat flux. We prove for such models that the solution decays exponentially as time goes to infinity. We also consider a nonlinear case.
We performe an exponential decay analysis for a Timoshenko-type system under the thermal effect by constructing the Lyapunov functional. More precisely, this thermal effect is acting as a mechanism for dissipating energy generated by the bending of the beam, acting only on the vertical displacement equation, different from other works already existing in the literature. Furthermore, we show the good placement of the problem using semigroup theory.
