The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermoelastic functionally graded beam in a modified couple stress theory subjected to a dual-phase-lag model.
The governing equations are solved by using the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption and the Laplace transform technique. The lateral deflection, temperature change, displacement component, axial stress and thermal moment of the beam are obtained by ramp type heating in the transformed domain. A general algorithm of the inverse Laplace transform is developed to recover the results in a physical domain.
The lateral deflection, temperature change, displacement component, axial stress and thermal moment of the beam are computed numerically and presented graphically to show the effect of ramp time parameter and phase lags of heating.
Comparisons are made in the absence and presence of coupled dual-phase-lag thermoelastic and coupled thermoelastic L-S theories and also different values of ramp type parameter.
