ABSTRACT
The present paper deals with the thermoelastic plane waves due to a thermo-mechanical shock in the form of pulse at the boundary of a homogeneous, isotropic thermoelastic half-space. The field equations of the Green- Naugdhi theory without energy dissipation for an thermoelastic solid in the generalized thermoelasticity theory are written in the form of a vector-matrix differential equation using Laplace transform techniques and then solved by an eigenvalue approach. Exact expressions for the considered field variables are obtained and presented graphically for copper-like material. The characteristic features of the present theory are analyzed by comparing these solutions with their counterparts in other generalized thcrmoelasticity theories.
