Summary
A theory of thermoelasticity for piezoelectric materials which includes heat-flux among the independent constitutive variables is formulated. It is found that the linearized version of the theory admits a finite speed for thermal signals. An equation of energy balance and a theorem on the uniqueness of solution are obtained.
