Abstract
Due to the shortcomings of power law distributions in the heat transfer laws of fractional calculus, some other forms of derivatives with few other kernel functions have been proposed. This literature survey focuses on the mathematical model of thermo-viscoelasticity which investigates the transient phenomena in a three-dimensional thermoelastic medium in the context of two-temperature Kelvin–Voigt three-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity, defined in integral form on a slipping interval incorporating the memory-dependent heat transport law. The bounding plane is subjected to a time-dependent thermal loading and is free of tractions. Incorporating normal mode as a tool, the problem has been solved analytically in terms of normal modes and the physical fields have been depicted graphically for a copper-like material. According to the graphical representations corresponding to the numerical results, conclusions about the new theory is constructed. Excellent predictive capability is demonstrated due to the presence of memory-dependent derivative, effect of delay time and viscosity also.
