Abstract

The theory of thermoelasticity with thermal relaxation for homogeneous materials is formulated upon the basis of the law of balance of energy and the law of balance of entropy, proposed by Green and Naghdi [5]. The non-linear theory is formulated first; then the linearized theory is deduced. The uniqueness of solution of a typical initial, mixed boundary value problem is established.
