Abstract
The current article introduces the thermoelastic coupled response of an unbounded solid with a cylindrical hole under a traveling heat source and harmonically altering heat. A refined dual-phase-lag thermoelasticity theory is used for this purpose. A generalized thermoelastic coupled solution is developed by using Laplace's transforms technique. Field quantities are graphically displayed and discussed to illustrate the effects of heat source, phase-lag parameters, and the angular frequency of thermal vibration on the field quantities. Some comparisons are made with and without the inclusion of a moving heat source. The outcomes described here using the refined dual-phase-lag thermoelasticity theory are the most accurate and are provided as benchmarks for other researchers.
