ON HEAT CONDUCTION AND WAVE PROPAGATION IN RIGID SOLIDS

Abstract

The paper is concerned with conduction of heat and the related problem of propagation of thermal waves in stationary rigid solids. Special attention is given to rate-dependent response and the ensuing conditions of propagation in the conducting medium. By considering small time-dependent temperature variations superposed on a finite nonuniform equilibrium temperature field, certain conclusions are reached on the so-called 'second sound' phenomenon.
