Abstract: A numerical solution for a one-dimensional, nonlinear wave propagation problem of thermo-magneto-elasticity for the elastic, perfectly conducting half-space is presented. The results are discussed and compared to the case of no magnetic field, to investigate the effect of the latter on the mechanical displacement and on the temperature. The used numerical method relies on a finite difference scheme and has proved to be efficient in dealing with such problems.
