Abstract: In present work, the transient responses of a hollow cylindrical conductor based on the generalized thermoelastic theory with memory-dependent derivative are investigated. The conductor with temperature-dependent mechanical properties is subjected to a thermal shock on its internal surface. The hollow cylindrical conductor is placed in a magnetic field along the axial direction of the cylinder. The effects of memory-dependent derivative and temperature-dependent properties influenced by the variable material property factors on the heat conduction and structural responses are emphatically discussed. The coupled governing equations containing time delay factors and kernel functions, which can be chosen freely according to specific problems, are solved by the Laplace transform together with its numerical inversion. The distributions of the non-dimensional induced electric field, induced magnetic field, hoop stress, radial stress, temperature and displacement at different values of time delay factors, kernel functions and variable material property factors are obtained and illustrated graphically. Finally, some conclusions are summed up, based upon which guidelines may be provided in the design of a hollow cylindrical conductor working in a thermo-mechanical coupling environment.
