MECHANICAL AND THERMAL SOURCES IN A MICROPOLAR GENERALIZED THERMOELASTIC MEDIUM

The disturbance due to mechanical and thermal sources in a homogeneous, isotropic, micropolar generalized thermoelastic half-space is investigated by the use of Laplace– Fourier transform technique. The analytical expressions of displacement components, normal force stress, tangential force stress and temperature field so obtained have been inverted by using a numerical technique. Numerical results are presented graphically for a magnesium crystal like material.
