Thermoelastic waves without energy dissipation in an elastic plate to to a suddenly punched hole

The linear theory of thermoelasticity without energy dissipation for isotropic and homogeneous materials is employed to study waves in an elastic plate. The waves are assumed to arise out of a ramp-type stress on the plate’s boundary which is maintained at constant temperature. Laplace transforms are used to solve the problem, and the distributions of displacement, temperature, radial and hoop stresses are displayed graphically.Keywords : Thermoelasticity, Green-Naghdi, punched hole, elastic plate
