Fundamental and Generalized Solutions of the Equations of Motion of a Thermoelastic Half-Plane with a Free Boundary

Resumo

A coupled thermoelasticity model is used to study the dynamics of a thermoelastic half-plane influenced by nonstationary body forces and heat sources. In space of Laplace transforms with respect to time, Green’s tensor of the boundary value problem for the half-plane with a boundary free of stresses and heat fluxes is constructed. The displacements and the temperature of the medium are determined for arbitrary body forces and heat sources.
