Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to introduce a new fractional-order theory called nonlinear fractional generalized photo-thermoelasticity involving three temperatures. Due to strong nonlinearity, it is very difficult to solve the wave problems related to this theory analytically. Therefore, we propose a new boundary element algorithm and technique for simulation and optimization of the considered problems related to this theory. The genetic algorithm (GA) as an optimization method has been applied based on free form deformation (FFD) technique to improve the performance of our proposed technique. In the formulation of the considered problem, the profiles of the considered objects are determined by FFD technique, where the FFD control point positions are treated as genes, and then the chromosome profiles are defined with the gene sequence. The population is established by a number of individuals (chromosomes), where the objective functions of individuals are achieved by the boundary element method (BEM). A nonuniform rational B-spline curve (NURBS) was used to model optimized boundary where it reduces the number of control points and provides the flexibility to design several different shapes for solving the considered photo-thermoelastic wave problems. The numerical results verify the validity and accuracy of our proposed boundary element technique.

1. Introduction
In semiconductors, an electronic deformation leads to local strain which produces plasma waves that are similar to thermal waves generated by local periodic elastic deformation. In general, the electric resistance of semiconductor decreases with increasing temperature, due to semiconductor electrons released from atoms by heat. Recently, the fractional differential equations that can be used for describing many real-world systems have gotten more and more researchers’ attention due to their many applications in sciences and engineering fields.
Recently, increasing attention has been directed toward generalized micropolar thermoelastic problems in anisotropic media due to its many applications in aeronautics, astronautics, geophysics, plasma physics, nuclear plants, nuclear reactors, automobile industries, military technologies, robotics, earthquake engineering, soil dynamics, mining engineering, high-energy particle accelerators, and other engineering industries.
The classical thermoelasticity (CTE) theory has been proposed by Duhamel [1] and Neuman [2] and has two physical paradoxes. First, the heat conduction equation of this theory does not include any elastic terms. Second, the heat conduction equation is of a parabolic type, predicting infinite propagation speed of thermal energy. This prediction is a physically unacceptable situation. Biot [3] developed the classical coupled thermoelasticity (CCTE) theory to resolve the first
The main aim of this paper is to introduce a new fractional-order theory called nonlinear generalized photo-thermoelasticity involving three temperatures. The governing equations of transient thermal stress wave propagation problems associated with this theory are very difficult to solve analytically because of strong nonlinearity. So, we need to develop new numerical techniques for solving such equations. Therefore, we propose a new boundary element technique for solving the governing equations of the proposed theory. The numerical results are depicted graphically to confirm the validity and accuracy of our proposed technique.
A brief summary of this chapter is as follows. Section 1 outlines the background and provides the readers with the necessary information from books and articles for a better understanding of the generalized thermoelastic theories associated with the distributions of three temperature and thermal stress fields. Section 2 describes the formulation of the new theory and its related problems. Section 3 discusses the implementation of the new BEM to obtain the carrier density field. Section 4 studies the implementation of the new BEM for solving the nonlinear radiative heat conduction equation, to obtain the three temperature fields. Section 5 studies the development of the new BEM and its implementation for solving the move equation based on the known three temperature fields, to obtain the displacement field. Section 6 discusses the shape optimization scheme for semiconductor structures. Section 7 presents the new numerical results that describe the BEM results which are in excellent agreement with the FDM and FEM results.

Substituting Eq. (11) into Eq. (3), we obtain
Based on the fundamental solution which satisfies Eq. (15), the boundary integral equations corresponding to Eq. (3) can be expressed as
Based on [34], we can write
To solve Eq. (17), the functions
Differentiating Eq. (18) with time, we obtain
By substituting Eqs. (18)-(20) into Eq. (17), we get
Thus, the temperature can be determined from the following system:

7. Numerical results and discussion
The efficiency of our numerical modeling technique has been improved using a nonuniform rational B-spline curve (NURBS) to decrease the computation time and the model’s optimized boundary where it reduces the number of control points and provides the flexibility to design a large variety of shapes.
Figure 1 shows the main steps of the genetic algorithm of photo-thermoelastic semiconductor structures.
The design vector is represented by a chromosome
Thus, genes can be considered as design variables.
The following constraints are also imposed on each gene:
where
The uniform mutation and boundary mutation are implemented, where the uniform mutation operator replaces a gene of the chromosome with the new random value
The uniform mutation probability determines the gene number which will be modified in each population. The boundary mutation operator is a special case of the uniform mutation. The gene after mutation receives one of the boundary values
The boundary mutation is very useful for boundary element problems in which the solution is on the boundary. The boundary mutation probability determines the gene number which will be modified in each population.
The simple crossover and arithmetical crossover are implemented, where the operator of the simple crossover creates two new chromosomes
The simple crossover probability determines the chromosomes number which will be crossing in each population.
The arithmetic crossover operator creates two identical new chromosomes
The operator of the cloning increases the probability of survival of the best chromosome by duplicating this one to the next generation. The probability of the cloning decides how many copies of the best chromosome will be in the new generation.
The ranking selection allows chromosomes to survive with a great value of an objective function. The first step of the ranking selection is sorting all the chromosomes according to the value of the objective function. Then on the basis of the position in the population, the probability of survival is attributed to every chromosome by the following formula:
where rank is the chromosome position after sorting,

The efficiency of our numerical modeling technique has been improved using GA, FFD, and NURBS to decrease the computation time of solving three-temperature photo-thermoelastic problems in semiconductor structures. Due to strong nonlinearity, it is very difficult to solve the problems related to this theory analytically. Therefore, we propose a new boundary element model for our current complex problem. So, the validity and accuracy of the proposed technique were confirmed by comparing graphically the one-dimensional results obtained from BEM with those obtained using the finite difference method (FDM) of Pazera and Jędrysiak [38] and finite element method (FEM) of Xiong and Tian [39] which have been reduced as a special case from the current problem. For comparison reasons, the 2D-3T radiative heat conduction is replaced by heat conduction.

8. Conclusion
The aim of this study is to propose a new theory called nonlinear fractional generalized photo-thermoelasticity involving three temperatures and implement a new boundary element technique for modeling and optimization of the three-temperature nonlinear fractional generalized photo-thermoelastic interaction problems in anisotropic semiconductor structures associated with the proposed theory. This technique is implemented based on genetic algorithm (GA), free-form deformation (FFD) method, and nonuniform rational B-spline curve (NURBS) as the global optimization techniques for solving complex problems associated with the proposed theory. FFD is an efficient and accurate technique for treating optimization problems with complex shapes. In the formulation of the considered problem, solutions are obtained for specific arbitrary parameters which are the control point positions in the considered problem; the profiles of the considered objects are determined by FFD method, where the FFD control points positions are treated as genes; and then the chromosomes profiles are defined with the gene sequence. The population is founded by a number of individuals (chromosomes), where the objective functions of individuals are determined by the BEM. The optimal shape of the photo-thermoelastic semiconductor structure for isotropic, transversely isotropic, orthotropic, and anisotropic is obtained. The proposed technique can be applied to a wide range of modeling and optimization problems related with our proposed theory. The numerical results verify the validity and accuracy of our proposed boundary element technique. Also, the BEM is more powerful and simple to use than the FDM or FEM, because it reduces the computational cost. The present numerical results for our general and complex problem may provide interesting information for mechanical engineers, material science researchers, computer scientists, and designers of semiconductor devices.
