Following the theory of generalized Green-Lindsay thermoelasticity with two relaxation times
the response of a solid sphere under thermal shock is analyzed. With Laplace transform and its inversion
the asymptotic solutions of the displacement and temperature are obtained by the transient characteristic of thermal shock. Through numerical calculation
the rules of the sphere's displacement and temperature distributions are discovered
and the influences of the thermal relaxation time and the thermoelastic coupling coefficient on the distributions are also revealed. It is found that there are two step points in both displacement and temperature distributions; the step time
the interval and the peak value of step are affected by the thermal relaxation time and the thermoelastic coupling coefficient
