Abstract. The propagation of longitudinal thermoelastic waves in a half-space caused by mechanical influences is considered. One-dimensional dynamic problem of coupled thermoelasticity is solved by using integral transforms. Exact and approximate expressions for calculation of thermomechanical values at each point of a half-space and at arbitrary moment of time are given. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the effects of damping and dispersion of thermoelastic waves is performed. 
RAVNI TERMOELASTIČNI TALASI U POLUPROSTORU IZAZVANI PRITISNIM SILAMA U NJEGOVOJ RAVNI
Razmatran je problem prostiranja longitudinalnih talasa u poluprostoru izazvanih mehaničkim uticajima. Jednodimenzioni dinamički problem spregnute termoelastičnosti rešavan je korišćenjem integralnih transformacija. Dati su tačni i približni izrazi za izračunavanje termomehaničkih veličina za svaku tačku poluprostora u proizvoljnom trenutku vremena. Izvršena je kvalitativna i kvantitativna analiza efekta prigušenja i rasipanja termoelastičnih talasa.
