LONGITUDINAL WAVE PROPAGATION IN A GENERALIZED THERMOELASTIC CYLINDER

Abstract
In this paper the longitudinal wave propagation in a circular infinite cylinder is studied. The infinite circular cylinder is assumed to be made of a generalized thermoelastic material. The dispersion relation is obtained for the case in which the temperature is kept constant on the surface of the cylinder. Because of the complexity of the dispersion relation, the numerical solutions are given. For various values of parameters appearing in the field equations, some dispersion, attenuation, and phase velocity diagrams are presented
