This study utilizes a generalized biothermoelastic model to analyze thermo-mechanical interactions within living tissues. Through graphical illustrations, the influence of key parameters on temperature distribution, displacement, and thermal strain is elucidated. A parametric analysis is conducted to guide optimal design factor selection for hyperthermia treatments.
This study presents an analytical analysis of thermo-mechanical interactions within living tissues using a generalized biothermoelastic model with one thermal relaxation time. Utilizing Laplace transforms and associated techniques, we investigate the response of living tissue to a pulse boundary heat flux that decays exponentially on a traction-free surface. Through detailed graphical illustrations, we elucidate the influence of key parameters such as thermal relaxation time, blood perfusion rate, and the characteristic time of the pulsing heat flux on temperature distribution, displacement, and thermal strain. Our results are presented through comprehensive graphical representations. Furthermore, a parametric analysis is conducted to guide the selection of optimal design factors, enhancing the accuracy of hyperthermia treatments.
