Some results on thermoelasticity for porous piezoelectric materials (Q1911058)

We deal with a thermoelastic theory of piezoelectric porous materials; use of a generalized thermodynamic approach is made in order to obtain physically more realistic results. In this context, our aim is to derive the thermodynamic restrictions and the constitutive equations in the linear approximation, and then to establish a uniqueness theorem and a variational principle for the mixed problem.
