Two-temperature theory in generalized magneto-thermo-viscoelasticity

A one-dimensional model of the two-temperature generalized magneto-viscoelasticity with two relaxation times in a perfect conducting medium is established. The state space approach is adopted for the solution of one-dimensional problems for any set of boundary conditions. The resulting formulation together with the Laplace transform techniques are applied to a specific problem of a half-space subjected to thermal shock and traction-free surface. The inversion of the Laplace transforms is carried out using a numerical approach. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically for the problem. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effects of the temperature discrepancy and the applied magnetic field.
