Magnetothermoelastic stress waves in a circular cylinder (Q1083296)

The problem of axisymmetric axial stress wave generation is considered in a thermoelastic circular cylindrical bar in the presence of an applied magnetic field. It is assumed that the surface of the cylinder is free from mechanical loadings and thermal radiation. A general solution is obtained by perturbation technique and is annihilated to a particular case wherein the applied magnetic field is constant in space and time. The problem is analysed numerically for carbon steel material.
