The purpose of this paper is to introduce the phase-lag models (Lord-Shulman, dual-phase-lag and three-phase-lag) to study the effect of memory-dependent derivative and the influence of thermal loading due to laser pulse on the wave propagation of generalized micropolar thermoelasticity. The bounding plane surface is heated by a non-Gaussian laser beam with a pulse duration of 10 nanoseconds.
The normal mode analysis technique is used to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement components, the force stresses, the temperature, the couple stresses and the micro-rotation. Comparisons are made with the results predicted by three theories of the authors’ interest. Excellent predictive capability is demonstrated at a different time also.
The effect of memory-dependent derivative and the heat laser pulse on the displacement, the temperature distribution, the components of stress, the couple stress and the microrotation vector have been depicted graphically.
Some particular cases are also deduced from the present investigation.
The numerical results are presented graphically and are compared with different three theories for both in the presence and absence of memory-dependent effect and with the results predicted under three theories for two different values of the time.
