Thermo-mechanical Deformation in Magneto-micropolar Elastic Medium

The present investigation is concerned with a two-dimensional problem in electromagnetic micropolar elasticity for a half-space whose surface is subjected to distributed (concentrated or continuous) thermo-mechanical sources in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. As an application of the approach, the sources are taken as uniformly or linearly distributed. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used to solve the problem. The integral transforms have been inverted by using a numerical technique to obtain the components of normal strain, normal stress, tangential couple stress, and temperature distribution in the physical domain. Magnetic effects on the components of normal strain, normal stress, tangential couple stress, and temperature distribution have been depicted graphically for two different theories of generalized thermoelasticity, Lord and Shulman (L-S) theory and Green and Lindsay (G-L) theory. A particular case of interest is also deduced from the present investigation.
