Boundary integral equation formulation for generalized thermoelastic diffusion - Analytical aspects

摘要

The present work deals with the formulation of the boundary integral equations for the solution of equations under linear theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion in a three-dimensional Euclidean space. A mixed initial-boundary value problem is considered in the present context and the fundamental solutions of the corresponding coupled differential equations are obtained in the Laplace transform domain by employing the treatment of scalar and vector potential theory. A reciprocal relation of Betti type is established. Then we formulate the boundary integral equations for generalized thermoelastic diffusion on the basis of these fundamental solutions and the reciprocal relation.
