Magneto-Thermoelastic Response in an Unbounded Medium Containing a Spherical Hole via Multi-Time-Derivative Thermoelasticity Theories

Abstract

This article introduces magneto-thermoelastic exchanges in an unbounded medium with a spherical cavity. A refined multi-time-derivative dual-phase-lag thermoelasticity model is applied for this reason. The surface of the spherical hole is considered traction-free and under both constant heating and external magnetic field. A generalized magneto-thermoelastic coupled solution is developed utilizing Laplace’s transform. The field variables are shown graphically and examined to demonstrate the impacts of the magnetic field, phase-lags, and other parameters on the field quantities. The present theory is examined to assess its validity including comparison with the existing literature.
