Analysis of deformation due to inclined load in generalized thermodiffusive elastic medium

Abstract

The present investigation deals with study of deformation in homogeneous, isotropic thermodiffusion elastic half-space as a
result of inclined load. The inclined load is assumed to be a linear combination of normal load and tangential load. The integral
transform technique is used to solve the problem. As an application of the approach distributed and moving forces have been taken. The transformed components of displacement, stresses, temperature distribution and concentration are inverted using numerical inversion technique. The effect of relaxation times and response of two theories of thermoelasticity i.e. Green and
Lindsay (G-L) theory and coupled theory (CT) on these quantities have been depicted graphically for a particular model. Some
particular cases are also deduced.
