Moving Heat Source Response in a Thermoelastic Microelongated Solid

The present paper deals with thermoelastic interactions in a microelongated, isotropic, homogeneous medium in the presence of a moving heat source. In this context, the generalized theory of heat conduction is considered. In order to illustrate the results obtained, a numerical solution for aluminum epoxy-like material is obtained, and the variations of the displacement, microelongation, normal strain, and normal stress are presented. The results may be applied for damage characterization of materials.
