Some theorems in temperature-rate-dependent theory of thermoelasticity (Q795540)

The paper proves three theorems: Uniqueness of solution basing on the assumption of the positive definiteness of the energy function; a variational principle of Hamilton type for the field equations; a general reciprocal theorem of Betti-Rayleigh type for linearized anisotropic thermoelastic interactions, including as special cases some known theorems of a similar type.
