Extract

Consider a slab which is made from a homogeneous and isotropic thermoelastic material and which occupies the region 0 ≤ x ≤ a, where x, y, z are the usual rectangular cartesian coordinates. Suppose that the slab undergoes a motion in which the displacement vector is parallel to the x-axis and the displacement and the temperature are functions of the coordinate x and the time t ( ≥ 0) only. Suppose too that the faces of the slab are clamped, that the face x = 0 is maintained at a constant temperature, and that heat is supplied to unit area of the face x = a at a prescribed rate h(t).
