Abstract

In the articles Thermoelasticity with second sound: A review1 and Hyperbolic thermoelasticity: A review of recent literature2, Chandrasekharaiah has presented an in-depth look at nonconventional (a.k.a. generalized or non-Fourier) theories of thermoelasticity. The motivation driving the formulation of these theories is the desire to overcome the infinite propagation speed of thermal signals predicted by conventional thermoelasticity (CTE), the so-called “paradox of heat conduction.”
