u_z = \frac{3 \alpha E}{\rho C S}  \label{eq:deplThermoApprox}  \end{equation}  Substituting the same experimental parameters used previously along with $\alpha$ = 70.10$^{-6}$ K$^{-1}$ (water linear thermal dilatation coefficient), we obtain a displacement $u_z$ of 0.025 $\mu$m. This value is very close to the measured experimental displacement (about 0.02 $\mu$m). Note that both the experimental and theoretical central displacements are directed towards the outside of the medium (see white circle arrow in  Figures \ref{figElastoPVA}-(A) and \ref{figGreen}-(A)). To calculate the propagation of the displacements as shear waves, we must first consider the transverse dilatation, which leads to stronger displacements than those occurring along the Z axis. We thus modeled the thermoelastic regime in 2D as two opposite forces directed along the Y axis with a depth of 40 $\mu$m and with an amplitude decreasing linearly respectively from 2.5 to 0 mm and from -2.5 to 0 mm \cite{Davies_1993}. The magnitude of the force along space and time is stored in a matrix, $H_y^{thermo}(y,z,t)$. Displacements along the Z axis are then equal to the convolution between $H_y^{thermo} (y,z,t)$ and $G_{yz}$ \cite{aki1980quantitative}:  \begin{equation}
