A problem of generalized magneto-thermoelastic thin slim strip subjected to a moving heat source

The generalized thermoelastic theory with thermal relaxation, in the context of Lord and Shulman theory, is used to investigate the magneto-thermoelastic problem of a thin slim strip placed in a magnetic field and subjected to a moving plane of heat source. The generalized magneto-thermoelastic coupled governing equations are formulated. By means of the Laplace transform and numerical Laplace inversion, the governing equations are solved. Numerical calculations for the considered variables are performed and the obtained results are presented graphically. The effects of moving heat source speed and applied magnetic field on temperature, stress and displacement are studied. It is found from the graphs that the temperature, thermally induced displacement and stress in the strip are found to decrease at large heat source speed, and the magnetic field significantly influences the variations of non-dimensional displacement and stress. However, it has no effect on the non-dimensional temperature.
