Abstract

A general analysis is formulated for the closed loop coupled thermal and displacement viscoelastic 1-D wave problem. The proper inclusion of the highly temperature sensitive viscoelastic material properties renders the problem nonlinear, even though the displacements and material properties are considered to obey linear relations. In the present article. the previous analysis is enlarged and reformulated by (a) the inclusion of nonlinear elastic and viscoelastic constitutive relations as formulated in Hilton, (b) the addition of thermal waves to the displacement waves, and by (c) temperature dependent material density and viscoelastic moduli and compliances. The wave problem studied here is of significant importance in modeling, material characterization, determination of instantaneous moduli, nonlinear analytical solution protocols and the nonlinear interaction of temperature, material properties, and wave motions. Analytical and numerical solution protocols are presented and evaluated.
