Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study two-dimensional deformations in a nonlocal, homogeneous, isotropic, rotating thermoelastic medium with temperature-dependent properties under the purview of the Green-Naghdi model II of generalized thermoelasticity. The formulation is subjected to a mechanical load. Design/methodology/approach The normal mode analysis technique is adopted to procure the exact solution of the problem. Findings For isothermal and insulated boundaries, discussions have been made to highlight the influences of rotational speed, nonlocality, temperature-dependent properties and time on the physical quantities. Originality/value The exact expressions for the displacement components, stresses and temperature field are obtained in the physical domain. These are also calculated numerically for a magnesium crystal-like material and depicted through graphs to observe the variations of the considered physical quantities. The present study is useful and valuable for the analysis of problems involving mechanical shock, rotational speed, nonlocal parameter, temperature-dependent properties and elastic deformation.
