Thermoelastic Response of a Rectangular Plate under Hyperbolic Heat Conduction Model in Differential Transform Domain

Abstract

In the present work, a semi-analytical solution is presented for the thermoelastic response of a finite plate of rectangular geometry considering hyperbolic heat conduction model. The solution of thermoelastic displacement, thermal stresses and temperature are obtained using differential transform method under hyperbolic, non-Fourier heat conduction theory. For special case, thermal stresses and displacement functions are determined numerically and plotted graphically to analyze the effect of the thermal relaxation time.
