The Effect of Magnetic Field on 2-D Problem of Generalized Thermoelasticity with Energy Dissipation

In this paper, the propagation of electro-magneto-thermoelastic disturbances produced by thermal shock in a perfectly-conducting half-space is studied based on Green and Naghdi (G-N) theory. Normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions of temperature, displacement and stresses. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by G-N theory of type II and type III in the presence and absence of the magnetic field.
