This cluster of papers focuses on the study of thermoelastic damping, heat conduction, and bioheat transfer phenomena in various materials and systems. It explores non-classical behaviors such as fractional order effects, non-Fourier heat conduction, and memory-dependent derivatives in the context of generalized thermoelasticity. The research also delves into the application of these theories to micro- and nanomechanical systems, as well as the cryobiology of cryosurgical injury.
