Gravitational Influence on a Nonlocal Thermoelastic Solid with a Heat Source via L–S Theory

Abstract

Purpose The purpose is to obtain precise expressions of physical fields using the appropriate non-dimensional variables and normal mode analysis. Methods Based on the Lord–Shulman (L-S) theory and taking into account gravitational influences as well as temperature-dependent features, the fundamental equations for a nonlocal thermoelastic solid are developed. Results When a nonlocal thermoelastic media is swapped out for a thermoelastic one, this approach still holds true. Comparisons are done between the outcomes obtained and those expected for various nonlocal parameter values and for an empirical material constant. Additionally, comparisons are done between the outcomes for various gravity field values. Conclusion The nonlocal parameter plays a big part in how the physical fields are distributed. The distributions of the physical fields are significantly influenced by the gravity field.
