Abstract

The present investigation deals with the deformation in micropolar generalized thermoelastic medium with mass\ndiffusion subjected to thermo mechanical loading due to thermal laser pulse. Laplace and Fourier transform technique is used\nto solve the problem. Concentrated normal force and thermal source are taken to illustrate the utility of approach. The closed\nform expressions of normal stress, tangential stress, tangential couple stress, mass concentration and temperature distribution\nare obtained in the transformed domain. Numerical inversion technique of Laplace transform and Fourier transform has been\napplied to obtain the resulting quantities in the physical domain after developing a computer program. The normal stress,\ntangential stress, tangential coupled stress, temperature distribution and mass concentration are depicted graphically to show\nthe effect of relaxation times. Some particular cases of interest are deduced from the present investigation.
