Interactions due to hall current and rotation in a magneto-micropolar fractional order thermoelastic half-space subjected to ramp-type heating

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate a two dimensional problem in magneto-micropolar thermoelastic half-space with fractional order derivative in the presence of combined effects of hall current and rotation subjected to ramp-type heating.

Design/methodology/approach

The fractional order theory of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time derived by Sherief et al. (2010) has been used to investigate the problem. Laplace and Fourier transform technique has been used to solve the resulting non-dimensional coupled field equations to obtain displacement, stress components and temperature distribution. A numerical inversion technique has been applied to obtain the solution in the physical domain.

Findings

Numerical computed results of all the considered variables have been shown graphically to depict the combined effect of hall current and rotation. Some particular cases of interest are also deduced from the present study.

Originality/value

Comparison are made in the presence and absence of hall current and rotation in a magneto-micropolar thermoelastic solid with fractional order derivative.
