Plate theory and complementary displacement method

The two!dimensional problem for a half space whose surface is traction free and subjected to the e}ects of heat sources is considered within the context of the theory of thermoelasticity with two relaxation times[ Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used[ The solution in the transformed domain is obtained by using a direct approach[ Numerical inversion of both transforms is carried out to obtain the temperaturestress and displacement distributions in the physical domain[ Numerical results are represented graphically and discusse
