Effects of time and diffusion phase-lags in a thick circular plate due to a ring load with axisymmetric heat supply.

The purpose of this paper is to depict the effect of time, thermal, and diffusion phase lags due to axisymmetric heat supply in a ring. The problem is discussed within the context of DPLT and DPLD models. The upper and lower surfaces of the ring are traction-free and subjected to an axisymmetric heat supply. The solution is found by using Laplace and Hankel transform techniques. The analytical expressions of displacements, stresses and chemical potential, temperature and mass concentration are computed in transformed domain. Numerical inversion technique has been applied to obtain the results in the physical domain. Numerically simulated results are depicted graphically. The effect of time, diffusion, and thermal phase-lags are shown on the various components. Some particular results are also deduced from the present investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
