Thermoelastic plane waves for an elastic solid half-space under hydrostatic initial stress of type III

In this paper, we constructed the equations of generalized thermoelastic isotropic and homogeneous half-space under hydrostatic initial stress in the context of the Green and Naghdi (GN) theory of types II and III. Normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions of temperature, displacement and stress. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by GN theory of types II and III in the presence and absence of the hydrostatic initial stress. The temperature, displacement and stress distributions are represented graphically.
