Viscoelastic stressed microbeam analysis based on Moore–Gibson–Thompson heat equation and laser excitation resting on Winkler foundation

Abstract

In this work, a modified viscoelastic model of initially stressed microbeam on the base of the Winkler foundation under the effect of ultrafast laser heating and axial stress has been proposed. Viscosity effects are taken into account following the Kelvin–Voigt model. The governing equation for the thermoelastic vibration of the microbeam is obtained when the thermal field effect is defined by the non-Fourier Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) heat equation. The microbeam is seen as an Euler–Bernoulli beam that is exposed to varying sinusoidal heat. An analytical solution to the problem has been presented on the basis of the Laplace transform in addition to applying a numerical method to find inverse transformations. A numerical illustration is organized in the discussion section which discusses the impact of different effective parameters both on the vibrational behavior of a microbeam system and on the field variables. The viscous damping coefficient, laser pulse duration, and axial load greatly affect the deflection and temperature responses. The results obtained are verified and compared with the literature.
