Abstract
In this paper, four thermoelasticity models are applied to investigate the thermo-mechanical waves in an axisymmetric rotating disk. For this purpose, some modifications of Green and Naghdi's generalized thermoelasticity theory have been made. These novel dual- and triple-phase-lag models are presented. The closed-form solution governing equations of thermomechanical waves in the rotating disk has been presented. Some validation results are tabulated to compare the simple and refined dual- and triple-phase lag models based upon the Green-Naghdi theory. The effects of dimensionless time and angular speed on all variables are investigated. The validity of results is acceptable and benchmark results are tabulated to aid other researchers in their upcoming comparisons.
