thermal shock in the context of what became known as the theory of uncoupled thermoelasticity. In this theory the temperature is governed by a parabolic partial differential equation which does not contain any elastic terms. It was not much latter that many attempts were made to remedy the shortcomings of this theory. Biot [2] formulated the theory of coupled thermoelasticity to eliminate the paradox inherent in the classical uncoupled theory that elastic changes have no effect on the temperature. The heat equations for both theories, however, are of the diffusion type predicting infinite speeds of propagation for heat waves contrary to physical observations. Lord and Shulman [3] introduced the theory of generalized thermoelasticity with one relaxation time for the special case of an isotropic body. This theory was extended by Dhaliwal and Sherief [4] to include the anisotropic case. In this theory a modified law of heat conduction including both the heat flux and its time derivative replaces the conventional FourierÕs law. The heat equation associated with this theory is hyperbolic and hence eliminates the paradox of infinite speeds of propagation inherent in both the uncoupled and coupled theories of thermoelasticity. Uniqueness of solution for this theory was proved under different conditions by Ignaczak [5,6], Sherief and Dhaliwal [7], Dhaliwal and Sherief [4] and Sherief [8]. Green and Lindsay [9] obtained the theory of generalized thermoelasticity with two relaxation times. The uniqueness of solution for this theory was proved by Green [10]. The fundamental solution was obtained by Sherief [11]. Sherief and Helmy have solved a two-dimensional problem in [12]. Sherief and El-Maghraby have solved a crack problem in one relaxation time [13], ElMaghraby [14] has solved a two-dimensional problem for a half space subjected to heat sources. The authors have solved a one-dimensional problem with thermomechanical shock [15]. In this work a two-dimensional problem of thermoelasticity with two relaxation times is introduced. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used. The resulting formulation is applied to a thermomechanical shock half-space problem. The solution in the transformed domain obtained by using a direct approach. Numerical inversion of both transforms is carried out to obtain the temperature, stress and displacement distributions in the physical domain. Numerical results are represented graphically.

2. Formulation of the problem We shall consider a homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic solid occupying the half-space y P 0. The y-axis is taken perpendicular to the bounding plane pointing inwards. We shall also assume that the initial state of the medium is quiescent. The surface of this medium is subjected to a thermomechanical shock. The displacement vector thus, has components.

4. Inversion of the double transform We shall now outline the numerical inversion method used to find the solu tion in the physical domain. Let f ðq; y; sÞ be the Laplace–Fourier transform of a function f(x, y, t). First, we use the inversion formula of Fourier transform mentioned earlier to obtain a Laplace expression f ðx; y; sÞ of the form Z 1 1  eiqy f ðq; y; sÞ dq f ðx; y; sÞ ¼ pffiffiffiffiffiffi 2p 1 rffiffiffi Z 1 2   ¼ ðcosðqxÞf e ðq; y; sÞ þ sinðqxÞf o ðq; y; sÞÞ dq; p 0 





where f e and f o denote the even and odd parts of f ðq; y; sÞ respectively. The complex inversion formula for Laplace transforms can be written as [16] Z dþi1 1 est f ðx; y; sÞ ds; f ðx; y; tÞ ¼ 2pi di1 where d is an arbitrary real number greater than all the real parts of the singularities of f ðq; y; sÞ. Taking s = d + ir, the above integral takes the form Z edt 1 itr  f ðx; y; tÞ ¼ e f ðx; y; c þ irÞ dr: 2p 1 Expanding the function h(x, y, t) = exp(dt)f(x, y, t) in a Fourier series in the interval [0, 2L], we obtain the approximate formula [16]

180

N.M. El-Maghraby, H.M. Yossef / Appl. Math. Comput. 170 (2005) 172–184

f ðx; y; tÞ ¼ f1 ðx; y; tÞ þ ED ; where 1 X 1 f1 ðx; y; tÞ ¼ c0 ðx; y; tÞ þ ck ðx; y; tÞ for 0 6 t 6 2L 2 k¼1

ð46Þ

and ck ðx; y; tÞ ¼

edt Re½eikpt=L f ðx; y; d þ ikp=LÞ ; L

k ¼ 0; 1; 2; . . .

ð47Þ

ED, the discretization error, can be made arbitrarily small by choosing the constant d large enough [16]. Since the infinite series in Eq. (46) can only be summed up to a finite number N of terms, the approximate value of f(x, y, t) becomes N X 1 fN ðx; y; tÞ ¼ c0 ðx; y; tÞ þ ck ðx; y; tÞ 2 k¼1

for 0 6 t 6 2L:

ð48Þ

Using the above formula to evaluate f(x, y, t), we introduce a truncation error ET that must be added to the discretization error to produce the total approximation error. Two methods are used to reduce the total error. First, the ÔKorreckturÕ method [16] is used to reduce the discretization error. Next, the e-algorithm is used to reduce the truncation error and hence to accelerate convergence. The Korrecktur method uses the following formula to evaluate the function f(x, y, t): f ðx; y; tÞ ¼ f1 ðx; y; tÞ  e2 dL f1 ðx; y; 2L þ tÞ þ E0D ; where the discretization error jE0D j  jED j. Thus, the approximate value of f(x, y, t) becomes fNK ðx; y; tÞ ¼ fN ðx; y; tÞ  e2 dL fN 0 ðx; y; 2L þ tÞ;

ð49Þ

N 0 is an integer such that N 0 < N. We shall now describe the e-algorithm that is used to accelerate the convergence of the series in Eq. (48). Let N be an odd natural number, and let Xm sm ðx; y; tÞ ¼ ck ðx; y; tÞ k¼1 be the sequence of partial sums of (48). We define the e-sequence by e0;m ¼ 0;

e1;m ¼ sm

and epþ1;m ¼ ep1;mþ1 þ 1=ðep;mþ1  ep;m Þ; p ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .

N.M. El-Maghraby, H.M. Yossef / Appl. Math. Comput. 170 (2005) 172–184

181

It can be shown that [16] the sequence e1;1 ; e3;1 ; e5;1 ; . . . ; eN ;1 converges to f(q, y, t) + ED  c0/2 faster than the sequence of partial sums sm ;

m ¼ 1; 2; 3; . . .

The actual procedure used to invert the Laplace transforms consists of using Eq. (49) together with the e-algorithm. The values of d and L are chosen according to the criteria outlined in [16].

5. Numerical results The functions f(x, t) and G(x, t) which represent the thermal and mechanical shock respectively are taken as f ðx; tÞ ¼ h0 H ða  jxjÞ;

ð50Þ

Gðx; tÞ ¼ r0 H ða  jxjÞ;

ð51Þ

where H is the Heaviside unit step function, a, r0 and h0 are constants. This means that the applied thermomechanical shock acts only on a band of width 2a centered around the x-axis on the surface of the half space and zero everywhere else. Then the applied thermomechanical shock in the transformed Laplace Fourier domains is given by the following two equations rffiffiffi 2 h0 sin qa   ; ð52Þ f ðq; sÞ ¼ p qs rffiffiffi   ðq; sÞ ¼ 2 r0 sin qa : G ð53Þ p qs The copper material was chosen for purposes of numerical evaluations. The constants of the problem are shown in Table 1. The computations were performed for three values of non-dimensional time, namely t = 0.04, t = 0.08 and t = 0.12. The numerical technique outlined above was used to obtain the temperature, displacement, and stress distributions. All
