Enlightened by the Coronavirus, the present paper deals with a mathematical model of COVID-19 to investigate the impact of S-I-R-M model on the pregnant women and the newly borns due to the influence of availability of suitable conditions. The rates of infection, rate of recovery, rate of mortality for pregnant women before and after delivery and for newly born babies due to the transmission rate have been discussed for the present observed data. The numerical illustrations have been carried out for the parameters, functions and represented graphically by MATHEMATICA Software. Moreover some comparisons have been shown in the figure to estimate the impact of susceptible conditions and represent the particular cases of S-I-R-M model.

Purpose The present work is concerned with the solution of a fractional-order thermoelastic problem of a two-dimensional infinite half space under axisymmetric distributions in which lower surface is traction free and subjected to a periodically varying heat source. The thermoelastic displacement, stresses and temperature are determined within the context of fractional-order thermoelastic theory. To observe the variations of displacement, temperature and stress inside the half space, the authors compute the numerical values of the field variables for copper material by utilizing Gaver-Stehfast algorithm for numerical inversion of Laplace transform. The effects of fractional-order parameter on the variations of field variables inside the medium are analyzed graphically. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Integral transform technique and Gaver-Stehfast algorithm are applied to prepare the mathematical model by considering the periodically varying heat source in cylindrical co-ordinates. Findings This paper studies a problem on thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic and homogeneous elastic medium under fractional-order theory of thermoelasticity proposed by Sherief (Ezzat and El-Karamany, 2011b). The analytic solutions are found in Laplace transform domain. Gaver-Stehfast algorithm (Ezzat and El-Karamany, 2011d; Ezzat, 2012; Ezzat, El Karamany, Ezzat, 2012) is used for numerical inversion of the Laplace transform. All the integrals were evaluated using Romberg’s integration technique (El-Karamany et al., 2011) with variable step size. A mathematical model is prepared for copper material and the results are presented graphically with the discussion on the effects of fractional-order parameter. Research limitations/implications Constructed purely on theoretical mathematical model by considering different parameters and the functions. Practical implications The system of equations in this paper may prove to be useful in studying the thermal characteristics of various bodies in real-life engineering problems by considering the time fractional derivative in the field equations. Originality/value In this problem, the authors have used the time fractional-order theory of thermoelasticity to solve the problem for a half space with a periodically varying heat source to control the speed of wave propagation in terms of heat and elastic waves for different conductivity like weak conductivity, moderate conductivity and super conductivity which is a new and novel contribution.

In this work, a fractional-order theory of thermoelasticity by quasi-static approach is applied to the two-dimensional problem of a thin circular plate whose lower surface is maintained at zero temperature, whereas the upper surface is insulated and subjected to a constant temperature distribution. Integral transform technique is used to derive the solution in the physical domain. The corresponding thermal stresses are found using the displacement potential function.

In this paper the temperature distribution is determined through a hollow cylinder under an arbitrary time dependent heat flux at the outer surface and zero heat flux at the internal boundary due to internal heat generation within it. To develop the analysis of the temperature field, we introduce the method of integral transform. The results are obtained in a series form in-terms of Bessel?s functions.

This paper deals with the determination of the thermal deflection in a thin clamped hollow circular disk defined as a ≤ r ≤ b; 0 ≤ z ≤ h under an unsteady temperature field due to internal heat generation within it. A thin hollow circular disk is considered having an arbitrary initial temperature and subjected to heat flux at the outer circular boundary (r = b) where an inner circular boundary (r = a) is at zero heat flux. Also, the upper surface (z = h) and the lower surface (z = 0) of the disk are at zero temperature. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by using an integral transform technique. The inner and outer edges of the disk are clamped \({\frac{\partial \omega }{\partial r}=0}\) at r = a, r = b. The results are obtained in a series form in terms of Bessel’s functions and are illustrated graphically.

The present paper deals with the determination of the displacement and thermal stresses in a thin circular plate defined as 0 ≤ r ≤ b, 0 ≤ z ≤ h under a steady temperature field, due to a constant rate of heat generation within it. A thin circular plate is insulated at the fixed circular boundary (r = b), and the remaining boundary surfaces (z = 0, z = h) are kept at zero temperature. The governing heat conduction equation has been solved by using an integral transform technique. The results are obtained in series form in terms of modified Bessel functions. The results for displacement and stresses have been computed numerically and are illustrated graphically.
