Abstract :The paper discusses the solution of an interior-boundary value problem of one-dimensional time-fractional Cattaneo-type heat conduction and its stress fields for a rigid ball. The interior value problem describes the dependence of the boundary conditions within the ball\`s inner plane at any instant with a prescribed temperature state, in contrast to the exterior value problem, which relates the known surface temperature to boundary conditions. A single-phase-lag equation with Caputo fractional derivatives is proposed to model the heat equation in a medium subjected to time-dependent physical boundary conditions. The application of the finite spherical Hankel and Laplace transform technique to heat conduction is discussed. The influence of the fractional-order parameter and the relaxation time is examined on the temperature fields and their related stresses. The findings show that the slower the thermal wave, the bigger the fractional-order setting, and the higher the period of relaxation, the slower the heat flux propagates.
