This study embarks on an exploration of the thermal deflection characteristics of finite hollow cylinders, employing the space-time fractional heat conduction equation within a quasi-static framework. Heat application is executed on the upper surface of the cylinder, whilst maintaining a zero-temperature condition on the remaining boundaries. Temperature distribution across the cylinder is determined using the integral transform technique, a method ensuring precision in the computation of thermal responses. The discourse on thermal deflection is grounded in the principles of fractional diffusion wave theory, a contemporary approach providing deeper insights into heat conduction dynamics. Numerical analyses are presented, illustrating transient and long-range interaction responses of the hollow cylinder under various diffusion scenarios, namely sub-diffusion, normal diffusion, and super-diffusion.
