Description
Summary:This study aims to investigate the behavior of viscoelastic materials exhibiting complex mechanical behavior characterized by both elastic and viscous properties. They are widely used in various engineering applications, such as structural components, transportation systems, energy storage devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and earthquake research and detection. Accurate modeling of viscoelastic behavior is crucial for predicting its performance under dynamic loading conditions. In this study, we modify the equations governing the thermoelastic resistance to describe the thermal variables of a thermoelastic micro-beam supported by a two-parameter Pasternak viscoelastic foundation by using a fractional Moore–Gibson–Thompson (MGT) model in the context of non-locality. The temperature, bending displacement, and moment were computed and graphically displayed using the Laplace transform method. Different theoretical approaches have been compared in order to explain how the phase delay affects physical phenomena. Numerical results show that the wave fluctuations of variables in thermoelastic micro-beams are slightly smaller for the studied model and that the speed of these plane waves depends on fractional and non-local parameters.
