... with a relaxation time parameter in the Lord–Shulman (LS) thermoelasticity with the aid of an extended thermodynamics framework. As an application, the newly developed model is applied to a one-dimensional half-space problem which is traction free at one end; a time-dependent thermal shock is imposed at the same...

... when the interface drag parameter, which is varied along the interface, is properly designed, and when the matrix is subjected to remote uniform antiplane shearing. Interestingly, the internal stresses decay with not one but two relaxation times. Some special cases are discussed in detail...
