Abstract

In this paper the Quasi-Static poro-thermoelasticity model of a hollow and solid sphere under radial symmetric loading condition (r, t) is considered. A full analytical method is used and an exact unique solution of the Quasi-Static equations is presented. The thermal, mechanical and pressure boundary conditions, the body force, the heat source and the injected volume rate per unit volume of a distribute water source are considered in the most general forms where no limiting assumption is used. This generality allows to simulate variety of applicable problems.
