Abstract

This article is devoted to a theory of thermoviscoelastic materials with voids where the time derivative of the strain tensor and the time derivative of the gradient of the volume fraction are included in the set of independent constitutive variables. The equations of the nonlinear theory are considered. A stability result for bodies which are non-conductor of heat is presented. The stability is interpreted as continuous dependence of the processes upon initial state and supply terms.
