Abstract
In this paper, a general solution to the field equations of a generalized thermoelastic medium with double porosity has been obtained. To investigate the problem, we use the Lord–Shulman theory in the thermoelasticity. The half-space of an isotropic homogeneous thermoelastic material is considered. Using the normal mode analysis and the numerical inversion technique, the analytic expressions of the physical quantities are obtained. Numerically, computed results for these quantities and its depicted graphically lead to study the effect of porosity. Comparisons in the presence and absence of double porosity, in two different times, are obtained. Although the problem has been solved theoretically, it is possible for researchers to benefit from their results in many different sciences, for example, in the field of geophysics, earthquake engineering, along with seismologist working in the field of mining tremors and drilling into the crust of the earth.

1 Introduction
The generalized theory of thermoelasticity is one of the modified versions of classical uncoupled and coupled theory of thermoelasticity. In order to remove the paradox of physical impossible phenomena of an infinite velocity of thermal signals in the classical coupled thermoelasticity, the generalized theory of thermoelasticity has been developed. The coupled theory of thermoelasticity is explained in [1]. In [2] generalized thermoelasticity theory involving one thermal relaxation time is studied. Lord–Shulman has been applied, in [3], to study the effect of dependence of the modulus of elasticity on the reference temperature in two-dimensional generalized thermoelasticity. Generalized electro-magneto-thermo-viscoelastic in the case of 2-D thermal shock problem in a finite conducting medium with one relaxation time was studied in [4]. Marin [5] explained an approach of a heat-flux-dependent theory for micropolar porous media. The deformation of a rotating two-temperature generalized magneto-thermoelastic medium with internal heat source due to hydrostatic initial stress was studied by Said [6]. The weak solutions in elasticity of dipolar bodies with stretch were studied by Marin and Stan [7]. In [8], two-temperature generalized magneto-thermoelastic medium, for dual-phase-lag model, under the effect of the gravity field and hydrostatic initial stress, is studied. Wave propagation in a magneto-micropolar thermoelastic medium with two temperatures for three-phase-lag model was studied by Said [9]. The origin of the linear theory of elastic materials with double porosity goes back to papers of Barenblatt et al. [10]. Wilson and Aifantis, in [11], discussed the theory of consolidation with double porosity. Khalili and Valliappan, in [12], used the theory of flow and deformation in double porous media. In [13], Masters et al. studied coupling temperature to a double-porosity model of deformable porous media. Berryman and Wang [14] investigated the elastic wave propagation and attenuation in a double-porosity dual-permeability medium. In [15], Khalili and Selvadurai studied the fully coupled constitutive model for thermo-hydro-mechanical analysis in elastic media with double porosity. Linear dynamics of double-porosity dual-permeability materials-I was discussed by Pride and Berryman [16]. Zhao and Chen [17] introduced the fully coupled dual-porosity model for anisotropic formations. Svanadze [18] studied the dynamical problems of the theory of elasticity for solids with double porosity. In [19], Ainouz investigated the homogenized double-porosity models for poro-elastic media with interfacial flow Barrier. Plane waves and boundary value problems in the theory of elasticity for solids with double porosity were studied by Svanadze [20]. Straughan [21] studied the stability and uniqueness in double-porosity elasticity. The so-called double-porosity model allows the body to have a double porous structure: macroporosity connected to pores in the body and a microporosity connected to fissures in the skeleton. Moreover, the generalized theory, with the help of Darcy’s law, is established to obtain the basic equations for elastic materials with double porosity involve the displacement vector field, a pressure associated with the pores, and a pressure associated with the fissures (see [17, 20, 21]). The materials with double porosity are of interest in geophysics [22, 23] and mechanics of bone [21]. The theory is established with the help of Darcy’s law. The basic equations for elastic materials with double porosity involve the displacement vector field, a pressure associated with the pores, and pressure associated with the issues [20,21,22,23,24,25,26]. Othman and Marin [27] studied the effect of thermal loading due to laser pulse on thermoelastic porous media under G-N theory. The plane waves in magneto-thermoelastic solids with voids and microtemperatures due to hall current and rotation were investigated by Othman et al. [28].
In the present paper, we have studied the equations of generalized thermoelastic material with double-porosity structure with one relaxation time. Effect of porosity and different times is shown graphically.
2 Formulation of the problem and basic equations
Consider a homogeneous thermoelastic half-space with double-porosity structure in the undeformed state at uniform temperature T0. It follows from the description of the problem that all the considered functions will depend upon (x, z, t). We thus obtain the displacement vector u of the form \(\varvec{u} = (u_{1} ,0,u_{3} )\). The field equations and constitutive relations for a homogeneous isotropic thermo-elastic solid with double-porosity structure in the absence of incremental body forces and heat source by L–S model are:
Stress–strain equation (see [29])
In case of isotropic solids, the constitutive equations for double porosity [29]
The equation of motion in the absence of body force
Using (1) in (4), we get the equation of motion in the two dimensions
Equilibrated stress equations of motion
Equation of heat
For the purpose of numerical evaluation, we introduce dimensionless variables
Using the above dimensionless quantities, Eqs. (5)–(9) become:
where
Define displacement potentials ϕ1 and ψ1 that relate to displacement components u1 and u3 as,
Using Eq. (15) in Eqs. (10)–(14), to obtain:
Dimensionless variables of the stress components take the form,
3 Normal mode analysis
The solution of the considered physical variables can be decomposed in terms of normal mode as the following form
where ω is the complex time constant (frequency), i is the imaginary unit, and a is the wave number in the x-direction.
Using (24) in Eqs. (16)–(20), we obtain
where
Put the above Eqs. (25), (27), (28), (29) in the matrix, we find that the differential equation takes the form:
where
The solution of Eq. (30) has the form
After substituting Eqs. (33)–(35) into (15), the displacements take the form:
In addition, substituting from Eqs. (34) and (36–37) into (21)–(23), the stress displacements become
Dimensionless variables for the components of σi, τi
where \(\eta_{1} = \frac{{\alpha_{1} }}{{k_{1} \omega_{1}^{2} }},\eta_{2} = \eta_{3} = \frac{{b_{1} \alpha_{1} }}{{\alpha k_{1} \omega_{1}^{2} }},\eta_{4} = \frac{{\gamma \alpha_{1} }}{{\alpha k_{1} \omega_{1}^{2} }}.\)
Moreover, substituting from Eqs. (31), (32) into (41) and (42), we get the solution of σ3 and τ3, as:
where
4 Boundary conditions
We apply five boundary conditions for present problem at the plane surface z = 0.
Applying Eqs. (45–49) in (39), (40), (43), (44) and (34), we get
We can put Eqs. (50)–(54) in matrix and using MATLAB program to get \(M_{1} ,M_{2} , \ldots ..,M_{5}\),
5 Special cases
Case (i) when we neglect the presence of double porosity, the problem turns into a generalized thermoelastic medium.
Case (ii) If τ0 = 0 in Eq. (9),the corresponding expressions for thermoelastic medium with double porosity in the context of the coupled theory of thermoelasticity were yielded.
6 Results and discussion
To discuss, numerically, the effect of double porosity, the copper is considered as the thermoelastic material for which we take the following values of the different physical constants as Othman et al. [30].
Following Khalili [31], the double porous parameters are taken as
The numerical technique, outlined above, was used for the distribution of the real part of the temperature T, the displacement components u1, u3 the stress components τxx, τxz, τzz the components of double porosity σ and τ for the problem. All the variables are taken in non-dimensional form from the result.
Figures 1 and 2 explain the comparison of the stress component τxx in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Figs. 1 and 2 the stress τxx increases a small shift in the presence of double porosity and then decreases at two different values of time in the presence and absence of double porosity and take the form of the wave and try to return to zero. Figures 3 and 4 show the comparison of the stress component τzz in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Fig. 3 the stress τzz increases to a maximum value at t = 1 and then decreases to a minimum value at t = 2 in the presence of double porosity and take the form of a wave and try to return to zero. Figure 4 explains that the stress τzz decreases to a minimum value in the absence of double porosity at two different times and then decays until it returns to zero. Figures 5 and 6 demonstrate the comparison of the stress component τxz in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Fig. 5 the stress τxz decreases and then increases to a maximum value at t = 2 in the presence of double porosity and take the form of the wave and try to return to zero. Figure 6 shows that the stress τxz increases to a maximum value at z = 0.5 in the absence of double porosity at two different times and then decreases until it returns to zero. Figures 7 and 8 explain the comparison of the temperature T in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Figs. 7 and 8 the temperature T decreases in the two cases (with and without double porosity) at two different times and then decays to zero. Figures 9 and 10 show the comparison of the displacement u1 in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Fig. 9 the displacement u1 decreases at t = 0.5 more than at t = 1.5 and then decreases until it decays to zero in the positive direction of z, but in Fig. 10 the displacement u1 decreases to minimum value at t = 1.5 more than at t = 0.5 and takes the form of the wave until it decays to zero. Figures 11 and 12 illustrate the comparison of the displacement u3 in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Fig. 11 the displacement u3 increases a small shift in the begging at t = 0.5 more than at t = 1.5 and then begins to decrease until it decays to zero, but in Fig. 12 the displacement u3 increases at t = 0.5 more than at t = 1.5 and then begins to decrease until it decays to zero. Figures 13 and 14 demonstrate the comparison of the equilibrated stresses σ and τ in the presence of double porosity at two different times. We find that in Figs. 13 and 14 the equilibrated stresses σ and τ increase with the increase in time to a minimum value at 1 and then begin to decrease and take the form of the wave and try to return to zero.
7 Conclusion
From the figures obtained by comparing the functions in the presence and absence of double porosity at two different times, important phenomena are observed:
Analytic solutions based upon normal mode analysis of the thermoelastic problem in solids have been developed, which used in the present article is applicable to a wide range of problems in hydrodynamics and thermoelasticity. There are significant differences in the presence and absence of double porosity under two different times.
All the physical quantities satisfy the boundary conditions. The value of all the physical quantities converges to zero, and all the functions are continuous. Though the problem is theoretical, it can provide useful information for experimental researchers working in the field of geophysics, earthquake engineering, along with seismologist working in the field of mining tremors and drilling into the crust of the earth. The numerical treatment of the general system of equations and conditions governing the phenomenon may be useful in getting rid of the limitations of the method of normal modes’ technique, and this task is in progress.
