Problems of steady vibrations in the theory of Moore-Gibson-Thompson thermoviscoelasticity for materials with voids
Abstract
In this paper, the linear theory of Moore-Gibson-Thompson (MGT) thermoviscoelasticity for materials with voids is examined and the basic boundary value problems (BVPs) of steady vibrations are investigated. The governing equations of motion and steady vibrations are formulated. The fundamental solution to the system of steady vibration equations is constructed explicitly using four elementary functions, and its key properties are analyzed. Then, Green's first identity is established and the uniqueness theorems for classical solutions of the associated basic BVPs are proved. The surface and volume potentials are defined, and their essential properties are established. Singular integral operators are introduced, and their symbolic determinants and indices are calculated. Finally, existence theorems for classical solutions of the basic internal and external BVPs are established using the potential method.
