The linear thermoelasticity system is \[ \begin{aligned} {\partial^2 u(t,x)\over\partial t^2}-\mu\Delta u(t,x)-(\lambda+\mu)\nabla(\nabla\cdot u(t,x))+\alpha\nabla\theta(t,x)&=0 \\ {\partial\theta(t,x)\over\partial t}-\Delta\theta(t,x)+\beta\nabla\cdot{\partial u(t,x)\over\partial t} &=0 \\ u(0,x)= u^0(x), \quad {\partial u\over \partial t}(0,x)=u^1(x),\quad \theta(0,x)&=\theta^0(x)\end{aligned} \] in \((0,\infty)\times\Omega\), \(\Omega\) a \(n\)-dimensional domain of class \(C^{(2)}\) with boundary \(\Gamma\); \(u(t,x)\) (resp. \(\theta(t,x))\) is the vector displacement (resp. the temperature deviation) from equilibrium. In general, the energy of this system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions \(u(t,x)=0\), \(\theta(t,x)=0\) does not decay exponentially to zero as \(t\to\infty\). In this paper, the boundary is divided in two parts, \(\Gamma_1\) (homogeneous boundary conditions) and \(\Gamma_2\), where a boundary \(\rightarrow\) boundary velocity feedback is applied. Under suitable conditions on \(\Gamma_2\) and on the feedback, the author shows that the energy decays exponentially to zero as \(t\to\infty\). Then, stabilizability is translated into exact controllability using a method due to D. L. Russell. The paper contains numerous references, among them to results related to (or generalized by) the author's theorems.
