Abstract
The present work is concerned with the investigation of disturbances in a homogeneous, isotropic elastic medium with memory-dependent derivatives (MDDs). A one-dimensional problem is considered for a half-space whose surface is traction free and subjected to the effects of thermodiffusion. For treatment of time variations, the Laplace-transform technique is utilized. The theories of coupled and of generalized thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time follow as limit cases. A direct approach is introduced to obtain the solutions in the Laplace transform domain for different forms of kernel functions and time delay of MDDs, which can be arbitrarily chosen. Numerical inversion is carried out to obtain the distributions of the considered variables in the physical domain and illustrated graphically. Some comparisons are made and shown in figures to estimate the effects of MDD parameters on all studied fields.
