Thomson Effect on an Initially Stressed Diffusive Magneto-thermoelastic Medium via Dual-Phase-Lag Model

Abstract

Abstract Objective This study investigates the influence of the Thomson effect on the behavior of a diffusive magneto-thermoelastic medium with initial stress and the dual-phase-lag (DPL) model. Methods The normal mode analysis is utilized for solving the problem. The copper material was chosen for numerical assessments. The results are presented graphically for various physical quantities. Results A comparison is made between the DPL model and the Lord and Shulman (L-S) theory, both in the absence and presence of the Thomson effect parameter as well as at two different values for the phase lag of heat flux. Conclusions The findings provide insights into the impact of the Thomson effect on the behavior of the magneto thermoelastic medium, highlighting the differences between the DPL model and the L-S theory in different scenarios. This type of work has many applications in rock mechanics, geophysics, and petroleum industries. This work may be helpful for those researchers who are working in material science, smart materials, and new material designers.
