fractional thermoelasticity

Thermal stresses in a long cylinder under Gaussian-distributed heating in the framework of fractional thermoelasticity

An axisymmetric problem for Gaussian-distributed heating of a lateral surface of an infinite cylinder is solved in the framework of fractional thermoelasticity based on the time-fractional heat conduction equation with the Caputo derivative. The representation of stresses in terms of displacement potential and Love function is used to satisfy the boundary conditions on a surface of a cylinder. The results of numerical calculation are presented for different values of the order  of fractional derivative and nondimensional time.
