Abstract
The main purpose of this article is to study the effect of a moving heat source on the transient magneto-thermo-visco-elastic stresses in a nonhomogeneous anisotropic solid. The system of fundamental equations is solved by means of a dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). In the case of plane deformation, a numerical scheme for the implementation of the method is presented and the numerical computations are carried out for the temperature, displacement components, and thermal stress components. The validity of DRBEM is examined by considering a magneto-thermo-visco-elastic solid occupies a rectangular region and excellent agreement is obtained with existent results. The results obtained are presented graphically to show the effect of moving heat source on the displacement components and thermal stress components.
