Memory and Long-Range Interaction in a Two-Dimensional Hygrothermoelastic Semi-Infinite Solid Cylinder by Theory of Coupled-Uncoupled Heat and Moisture
摘要
The study investigates the hygrothermal behavior of a semi infinite solid cylinder using a generalized memory dependent hygrothermal coupling model. The aim is to evaluate how memory effects and spatial nonlocality influence the thermal, moisture, and mechanical responses of composite materials.
MethodsClassical diffusion and heat transfer equations are modified by incorporating first order memory dependent derivatives (MDD) as proposed by Wang and Li. Spatial nonlocality is introduced through the Riesz space fractional derivative of order
Parametric studies show that increasingmemory length ωamplifies hygrothermal effects, especially near the cylinder axis. Lowering fractional order βenhances spatial spreading and reduces peaktemperatures. Among kernel functions, the quadratic form yields the most attenuated and smoothest response, while the constant kernel approximates theclassical memory free limit. Stress and displacement fields are strongly affected by both memory and nonlocal parameters.
ConclusionsThe results emphasize the necessity of incorporating memory dependent and nonlocal effects for accurate prediction of hygrothermoelastic responses in advanced composites. The proposed framework provides a robust analytical tool for assessing durability and performance of materials under transient hygrothermal environments.
