Abstract:
The subject " coupled dynamical theory of thermoelasticity " deals with the thermal effects on elastic material. It removes the intrinsic drawback of classical uncoupled theory of thermoelasticity that the elastic changes are independent to the temperature and vice versa. This subject has important applications in various fields of science and engineering and during last few decades, it has progressed extensively through several research works carried out in this area and by applying the principles of mechanics and thermodynamics by eminent researchers. Some advancement has been made very recently by applying the concept of fractional calculus.
