Modeling of One-Dimensional Thermoelastic Dual-Phase-Lag Skin Tissue Subjected to Different Types of Thermal Loading

Abstract

This work introduces a mathematical model of thermoelastic skin tissue in the context of the dual-phase-lag heat conduction law. One-dimensional skin tissue has been considered with a small thickness and its outer surface traction free. The bounding plane of the skin tissue is subjected to three different types of thermal loading; thermal shock, ramp type heating, and harmonic heating. The inner surface has no temperature increment and traction free. Laplace transform techniques have been used, and its inversions have been calculated by using the Tzuo method. The numerical results have been represented in figures. The thermal shock time parameter, the ramp-type heat parameter, and the angular thermal parameter have significant effects on the temperature increment, the strain, the displacement, and the stress distributions, and they play vital roles in the speed propagation of the thermomechanical waves through the skin tissue.
