INTERNAL HEAT SOURCE IN A THERMOELASTIC HYDROSTATICALLY INITIALLY STRESSED PLATE IMMERSED IN A LIQUID

An infi nite homogeneous isotropic generalized thermoelastic hydrostatically initially stressed plate involving an internal heat source and bordering on inviscid liquid half-spaces is considered. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain exact expressions for the displacement component, force stress, and temperature distributions. The numerical results are presented graphically for the Lord–Shulman theory of thermoelasticity when a mechanical force is applied to both of the plate sides. A comparison of the results in the presence and absence of a hydrostatic initial stress is made.
