Vibrations of Inhomogeneous Viscothermoelastic Nonlocal Hollow Sphere under the effect of Three-Phase-Lag Model

Abstract

Herein, the free vibrations of inhomogeneous nonlocal viscothermoelastic sphere with three-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity have been addressed. The governing equations and constitutive relations with three-phase-lag model have been solved by using non-dimensional quantities. The simple power law has been presumed to take the material in radial direction. The series solution has been established to derive the solution analytically. The relations of frequency equations for the continuation of viable modes are developed in dense form. The analytical results have been authenticated by the reduction of nonlocal and three–phase–lag parameters. To investigate the quality of vibrations, frequency equations are determined by applying the numerical iteration method. MATLAB software tools have been used for numerical computations and simulations to present the results graphically subject to natural frequencies, frequency shift, and thermoelastic damping. The numerical results clearly show that the variation of vibrations is slightly larger in case of nonlocal elastic sphere in contrast to elastic sphere.
