Memory response on wave propagation in a thermoelastic plate due to moving band-type thermal loads and magnetic field

The main concern of this article is to deal with the thermoelastic interaction in a thick plate subjected to a moving heat source and being enlightened by memory-dependent derivative (MDD). Due to the shortcomings of power law distributions in Taylor’s series, some other forms of derivatives with few other kernel functions have been proposed. The present literature deals with a novel mathematical model of generalized thermoelasticity to investigate the transient phenomena for a thermoelastic thick plate in which, the memory-dependent heat transport equation involves the Dual-phase (DP) lag model of generalized thermoelasticity. Employing the Laplace transform and Fourier transforms, the analytical results for the distributions of the thermophysical quantities have been derived. The numerical inversions of the respective transforms have been carried out using a suitable numerical scheme based on the Fourier series expansion technique. Numerical computations for stress, displacement and temperature within the plate have been carried out and have been demonstrated graphically. The results also demonstrate how the heat source moves with time and influences the thermophysical quantities according to its respective position by that time. Also, significant differences on the thermophysical quantities are revealed due to the influence of magnetic field, memory effect and time-delay also. © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
