a b s t r a c t The present paper deals with the propagation of body waves in a homogenous isotropic, rotating, generalized thermoelastic solid with voids. The complex quartic secular equation has been solved by employing Descartes’ algorithm and perturbation method to obtain phase velocities, attenuations and specific loss factors of four attenuating and dispersive waves, which are possible to exist in such media. These wave characteristics have been computed numerically for magnesium crystal and presented graphically. Statistical analysis has been performed to compare the obtained computer simulated result in order to have estimate on the suitability of the method to compute various characteristics of the waves. This work may find applications in geophysics and gyroscopic sensors. Ó 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The theory of elastic materials with voids is concerned with the elastic materials consisting of a distribution of small pores (voids) which contains nothing of mechanical or energetic significance. Goodman and Cowin [1] established a general continuum theory for a fluid like material with voids and applied it to flow of granular materials. The nonlinear theory of elastic materials with voids was proposed by Nunziato and Cowin [2] and the linearized version was deduced by Cowin and Nunziato [3] where voids have been included as an additional kinematics’ variable. This theory reduces to the classical theory of elasticity in the limiting case when void volume vanishes. Puri and Cowin [4] presented a complete analysis of the frequency equation for plane waves in a linear elastic material with voids and observed that there are two dispersive and attenuated dilatational waves in this theory, one is predominantly the dilatational wave of classical linear elasticity and other is predominantly a wave carrying a change in void volume fraction. Chandrasekharaiah [5] established the uniqueness of solution of an initial boundary value problem formulated completely in terms of stress and volume fraction fields for homogenous and isotropic materials with voids. Chandrasekharaiah [6] studied the propagation of plane waves in a homogenous and isotropic unbounded elastic solid with voids rotating with a uniform angular velocity. Moreover, the effect of voids on surface waves propagating in thermoelastic media has got its due importance where the situation so demands. The cooling and heating of the medium also results in the expansion and contraction of the voids along with the core material which contributes towards thermal stress and vibration developments in solids. Sharma and Kaur [7] studied the plane harmonic waves in generalized thermoelastic materials with voids and Sharma et al. [8] studied an exact free vibration analysis of simply supported, homogenous isotropic, cylindrical panel with voids in the three dimensional ⇑ Corresponding author.

generalized thermoelasticity. Singh and Tomar [9] explored the possibility of plane wave propagation in an infinite thermoelastic medium with voids using the theory developed by Iesan and investigated the reflection phenomenon of a set of coupled longitudinal waves from a free plane boundary of a thermoelastic half-space with voids. Auriault [10] and Sharma and Grover [11] studied the body wave propagation in an infinite homogenous isotropic elastic and thermoelastic media respectively rotating with uniform angular velocity. During the last three decades, non-classical theories, Lord and Shulman [12], Green and Lindsay [13] have been developing to alleviate the paradox inherited in the classical theory of heat conduction which predicts an infinite speed of heat transportation and contradicts the physical facts. Chandrasekharaiah [14] referred a wave-like thermal disturbance as ‘second sound’. Ackerman and Overtone [15] and Ackerman et al. [16] have supported the experimental exhibition of the actual occurrence of ‘second sound’ at low temperatures and small intervals of time in solid helium. In the present study, wave propagation in a homogenous isotropic, thermoelastic media with voids which is rotating with ~, about a fixed axis ~ uniform angular rotation X e3 , the wave propagation of a perturbation displacement in the plane ð~ e1 ; ~ e2 Þ perpendicular to ~ e3 may be affected by the Coriolis force. The wave propagation is investigated as a function of the Kibel number C ¼ x X . The quartic complex polynomial characteristic equation yields us four complex roots, in general. These roots can be associated with four dispersive waves namely quasi-longitudinal (QL), quasi-transverse (QT), volume fractional (/-mode) and thermal wave (T-mode). The general complex characteristics equation has been solved by using Descartes’ algorithm along with irreducible case of Cardano’s and series (perturbation) expansion methods with the help of DeMoivre’s theorem in order to obtain phase speeds, attenuation coefficients and specific loss factors of the waves. The numerical solution of the secular equations is carried out for magnesium crystal like material in order to illustrate the analytical developments. The computer simulated results have also been presented graphically for velocities, attenuation and phase velocity with respect to Kibel number. 2. Wave equations in rotating media We consider a homogenous isotropic, thermoelastic solid with voids at uniform temperature T0 and initial volume frac~. with respect to an tion /0 in the undisturbed state. The medium is assumed to be rotating with uniform angular velocity X inertial frame. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of an object and the inertia of mass experiencing the effect. When Newton’s laws are transformed to a rotating frame of reference, the Coriolis and Centrifugal forces appear. Both forces are proportional to the mass of the object. The Coriolis force is proportional to the rotation rate. The Coriolis force acts in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and to the velocity of the body in the rotating frame and is proportional to the object’s speed in rotating frame. This force is termed as inertial force (pseudo force). The Coriolis force is quite small, only the horizontal component of Coriolis force is generally important. The basic governing dynamical equations of linear generalized thermoelastic interactions after including the Coriolis and centripetal forces, in absence of body forces and heat sources, Sharma and Kaur [7] and Sharma et al. [8] are

In general, the Eq. (16) is a quartic equation in n2 with complex coefficients and there is no general arithmetic or algebraic method of finding the exact value of the roots of imaginary quantities. Therefore this equation can be solved by Descartes’ algorithm along with irreducible case of Cardano’s method with help of De Moivre’s theorem to obtain its four roots in order to know the effect of rotation on various characteristics of waves which are significantly influenced by volume fraction and thermal fields. This gives us four pairs of values of complex phase velocity and hence four distinct types of waves are possible to propagate in such materials. Thus there are, a dilatational, an equivoluminal or a shear, a volume fraction (/-mode) and a thermal (T-mode) wave which get modified due to rotation and are possible to propagate in the thermo-elastic materials with voids rotating about an axis normal to its plane. Upon obtaining the complex roots n2i ði ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4Þ of Eq. (16), we get

The four pairs of the values of complex phase velocity in Eq. (19) give us four distinct types of attenuated and dispersive waves which are possible to propagate in thermoelastic materials with voids rotating about an axis normal to its plane. We write 1 v 1 ¼ V 1 j j þ ix Q j ;

j ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4

ð20Þ

so that kj = Rj + iQj and Rj ¼ Vxj , where Vj and Qj are real quantities. The exponent in the plane wave solution (10) becomes Qjx + iRj(x  Vjt). This shows that Vj is the propagation speed and Qj is the attenuation coefficient of the waves. Upon using representation (20) in Eq. (19), we obtain

Vj ¼

j ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4

The four distinct real values of phase velocity Vj j = 1, 2, 3, 4 corresponds to four distinct waves namely quasi-longitudinal (QL), quasi-transverse (QT), volume fractional ð/  modeÞ and thermal (T-mode) waves which are possible to propagate in such materials. These waves are attenuated in space having attenuation coefficients Qj j = 1, 2, 3, 4 and also get modified due to rotation as well as volume-fractional and thermal variations. In case X – 0, the QL-wave, QT-wave, /  mode and T-mode are coupled dilatational-shear, dilatational-volume fractional and dilatational-thermal waves. The coupling is measured by the amplitude ratios

4. Perturbation solution of dispersive waves As we know, there is no direct method to solve complex quartic equations except Descartes’ algorithm along with irreducible case of Cardano’s method available in the literature, however, series approximation (perturbation) method has been widely used by authors [11,17,18] to study the wave propagation problems in classical (coupled) and non-classical (generalized) thermoelastic continua. Therefore, our aim is to solve the instant problem with Descartes’ algorithm and approximation (perturbation) method in order to bring out the comparison and check the suitability of these methods to compute various characteristics of the waves under consideration. The modified secular Eq. (16) can also be rewritten as

For most of the materials the thermo-mechanical coupling parameter (eT) is very small and therefore, we develop series expansions in terms of eT for the roots n2i ði ¼ 1; 2; 3; 4Þ of the Eq. (23) in order to explore the effect of various interacting fields on the waves. Thus, we obtain

Specific loss The specific loss is the most direct method of defining internal friction for a material. The specific loss is the ratio of the amount of energy (DE) dissipated in a specimen through a stress cycle to the elastic energy (E) stored in that specimen at maximum strain. According to Kolsky [19] in case of sinusoidal plane wave of small amplitude the specific loss equals 4p times the absolute value of imaginary part of k to the real part of k. Therefore, we have

Fig. 1. Velocities in elastic medium versus Kibel number.

ph Fig. 1 shows the phase velocity profiles of cph 1 and c2 versus Kibel number for magnesium like material. In case of uncoupled thermoelasticity (elastic medium) we note that the dimensionless phase velocity of classical longitudinal wave shows resonance at the point C = 1(i.e. x = X). The profile of phase velocity (cph 1 Þ increases sharply in the range 0 < C < 1 to become asymptotic to its resonant value at C = 1 and for C  > 1, it decreases to become asymptotically close to unity at large Kibel increases with increasing Kibel number to ultimately become close to number. We observe that the phase velocity cph 2 ph its the limiting value d as Kibel number tends to infinity. The profiles of cph 1 and c 2 and their variations agree with those ph of Auriault [10] except for c1 in the Kibel number range 0 6 C < 1. In Figs. 2 and 3, we observe that the phase velocity of QL wave slightly depends on the elastic property of the medium. An important fact is that QL-wave shows resonance at the point C = 1(i.e. x = X), where velocity tends to infinity. It increases in the Kibel number range 0 6 C < 1, decreases sharply for 1 < C 6 3 and then becomes steady and stable C P 3 to attain value unity in a dispersion less manner. Also, we observe that, the phase velocity of QT-wave increases with increasing Kibel number and becomes steady to attain the limiting value d at large values of Kibel number. The velocity of the volume fractional wave (/-mode) increases in 0 6 C < 1 and becomes steady for large value of Kibel number and attains the limiting value 0.62. From Fig. 3, we observe that the velocity of thermal wave (T-mode) also increases with increasing Kibel number and becomes steady to attain the limiting value 4.2 at large values of Kibel number. Fig. 4 reveals that the attenuation coefficient profile of QL-wave increases sharply and tends to infinity in the Kibel number range 0 < C < 0.5 and then decreases in the Kibel number range 0.5 < C < 1 and becomes steady for large value of Kibel number. The attenuation of the QT-wave has quite small magnitude as compare to QL-wave and volume fractional wave (/-mode). The attenuation coefficient of volume fractional wave (/-mode) has maximum value at C = 0, and decreases monotonically to become steady and stable at extreme large Kibel number. Here, the actual values of attenuations of volume-fractional 1000 times of magnitude as actually considered in graphical interpretation. Fig. 5 shows that the attenuation of waves interlace as Q1 < Q2 < Q4 < Q3 with the exceptions that Q2 < Q3 < Q1 and Q2 < Q1 in the ranges 0 < C < 0.5 and C P 1.5, respectively. The attenuation of thermal wave increases in 0 < C 6 6. The value of Q3 approaches 0.021 at C = 6. The attenuation of the volume-fractional wave increases for 0 < C < 1.5 and then it becomes steady thereafter to attain its limiting

the QT-wave observes Gaussian like behaviour in the range 0.5 < C < 1.5 and has maximum value at C = 1 and almost vanishes elsewhere. Fig. 6, shows that the specific loss factor of QL-wave observes the Gaussian like behaviour in the Kibel number range 0 6 C 6 1 and attains value zero for entire values of Kibel number. The specific loss factor of QT-wave has small increase in the range 0 6 C 6 0.5 to attain its maximum value at C = 0.5 and it becomes steady after C P 0.5. The specific loss factor of volume-fractional wave (/-mode) have maximum value at C = 0 and decreases sharply in the Kibel number range 0 < C < 0.5 and having value extremely small for large value of Kibel number. Fig. 7 reveals that the specific loss factors of QL-wave and QT-waves have quite small magnitude as compare to that of thermal wave. The specific loss factor of volume-fractional wave (/-mode) exhibits Gaussian like behaviour in the range 0 6 C 6 1.5 which decreases exponentially for C P 1.5 to becomes steady there after. The specific loss factor of thermal wave has maximum value at C = 0, and decreases monotonically to become steady and stable at extreme large Kibel number. Here, the actual values of attenuations and specific loss factors of volume-fractional and thermal waves are respectively, 10 and 100 times of their magnitudes as actually considered in graphical interpretation for distinction purpose.

8. Statistical analysis In order to explore which method (Descartes’ or perturbation) gives better results in respect of different characteristics of the waves, we have performed the statistical analysis here. We employed student’s t-test, Gupta and Kapoor [22] at three

levels of significance (1%, 5% and 10%) to the data obtained from our FORTRAN coded program in case of phase velocities (Vi), attenuations (Qi) and specific loss factors (SLi) with the help of both Descartes’ and perturbation methods. Null hypothesis

where

denote mean values of the data corresponding to phase velocity, attenuation coefficient and specific loss factor respectively. Here the subscript values i = 1 and i = 2 refer to perturbation and Descartes’ method computations of the respective quantity. The considered degree of freedom = n1 + n2  2 = 11 + 11  2 = 20 and tabulated values of statistic (t) at 1%, 5% and 10%, levels of significance are ttab. = 2.528, ttab. = 1.725 and ttab. = 1.325, respectively. The corresponding calculated values of t  statistic in respect of phase velocities (Vi), attenuations (Qi) and specific loss (SLi), i = 1, 2, 3, 4 are obtained as (6.1324, 4.3911, 14.090, 2.5528), (3400.69, 7.4875, 3.2479, 10.8674) and (14.0484, 34.2048, 7.0429, 1.5346) respectively. From the above analysis it is observed that at three considered levels of significance namely, 1%, 5% and 10%, the null hypotheses, Q Q V V HV0 ; HQ0 and HSL 0 are rejected except for SL4 at 1% and 5% level of significance. Moreover, the mean values l1 ; l2 ; l1 ; l2 SL SL and l1 ; l2 in respect of phase velocity, attenuation coefficient and specific loss factor obey the inequalities SL lV1 i > lV2 i ; i ¼ 1; 3; lV1 i < lV2 i ; i ¼ 2; 4; lQ2 > lQ1 and lSL 2 > l1 , respectively. Thus, it is concluded that perturbation method

is a better choice than Descartes’ method for computation of the phase velocities V1 and V3. However, the latter is well suited as compare to the former one for computing attenuation coefficients and specific loss factors of waves in addition to phase velocities V2 and V4. In case of SL4 null hypothesis is accepted and hence from the coefficient of variations (CV), we conclude that Descartes’ method is better choice than perturbation method. 9. Conclusions It is found that free wave propagation in a homogenous isotropic rotating thermoelastic media with voids gives rise to four waves namely, quasi-longitudinal (QL) wave, quasi-transverse (QT) wave, volume fractional (/-mode) and thermal wave (T-mode). At isentropic (low-frequency) conditions thermal wave does not exist while at isothermal (high-frequency) conditions it becomes diffusive in character. These waves are significantly affected due to rotation, voids and thermal variations. The modified QL and QT-waves approaches their classical counterparts in elastokinetics in the absence of the volumefraction and thermal fields. The dimensionless phase velocity cph 1 ðorV 1 Þ has finite value for all value of Kibel number except at unity, where it suffers resonance. The statistical analysis revealed that the Descartes’ method is a better choice than series method for the computations of phase velocities V2 and V4, attenuation coefficients and specific loss factor of the waves. However, the latter is well suited for the computations of phase velocities V1 and V3 in case of complex secular equations governing the wave motion. Appendix A These quantities are used in Eq.
