Influence of Inhomogeneity and Initial Stress on the Transient Magneto-Thermo-Visco-Elastic Stress Waves in an Anisotropic Solid

The object of the present paper is to study the transient magneto-thermo-visco-elastic stresses in a non-ho- mogeneous anisotropic solid under initial stress. 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 presented graphically to show the effects of initial stress and inhomogeneity on the displacement components and thermal stress components.
