Abstract

In the context of the linear theory of thermoelasticity without energy dissipation for homogeneous and isotropic materials, the uniqueness of solution of a natural initial, mixed boundary value problem is proved. The proof depends on an equation of energy balance formulated entirely in terms of temperature and velocity fields.
