On the Cauchy Problem in Nonlinear 3-d-Thermoelasticity.
In this part we weaken the sufficient condition to obtain the stresses continuous and bounded in the threedimensional case, and we treat a certain coupled system.
The continuity and boundedness of the stress to the solution of the thermoelastic system is studied first for the linear case on a strip and then for the twodimensional model involving nonlinearities, noncontinuous heating regimes and isolated boundary nonsmoothnesses of the heated body.
A quasilinear noncoupled thermoelastic system is studied both on a threedimensional bounded domain with a smooth boundary and for a generalized model involving the influence of supports. Sufficient conditions are derived under which the stresses are bounded and continuous on the closure of the domain.
The aim of this paper is to prove some properties of the solution to the Cauchy problem for the system of partial differential equations describing thermoelasticity of nonsimple materials proposed by D. Iesan. Explicit formulas for the Fourier transform and some estimates in Sobolev spaces for the solution of the Cauchy problem are proved.
After writing the equations which characterize the thermomechanics of hyperelastic continua subject to small transformations according to a recent hypothesis on the heat flux vector, we study the spherical thermomechanical waves.
In this paper we study the linear thermodynamical problem of mixtures of thermoelastic solids. We use some results of the semigroup theory to obtain an existence theorem for the initial value problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Continuous dependence of solutions upon the initial data and body forces is also established. We finish with a study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the homogeneous problem.
This paper outlines recent developments and prospects in the application of the continuum mechanics expressed intrinsically on the material manifold itself. This includes applications to materially inhomogeneous materials, physical effects which, in this vision, manifest themselves as quasi-inhomogeneities, and the notion of thermodynamical driving force of the dissipative progress of singular point sets on the material manifold with special emphasis on fracture, shock waves and phase-transition...
This paper deals with free-energy lower-potentials for some rate-independent one-dimensional models of isothermal finite elastoplasticity proposed in [1]. Extending the thermodynamic arguments of Coleman and Owen [3] to large deformations, the existence, non-uniqueness and regularity of free-energy as function of state are deduced rather than assumed. This approach, along with some optimal control techniques, enables us to construct maximum and minimum free-energy functions and a wide class of differentiable...
In questo lavoro si ricavano alcuni risultati fondamentali che caratterizzano il comportamento termoelastico di solidi definiti da equazioni costitutive alquanto generali in presenza di un vincolo interno superficiale. Con tale vincolo si suppone che durante ogni processo esiste una famiglia di superfici la cui dilatazione superficiale è unitaria nel caso di vincolo puramente meccanico, ed è invece una funzione nota della temperatura nell'ipotesi più generale di vincolo termomeccanico.
According to a thermodynamic theory proposed by G. Grioli, we consider the problem of determining the solutions for the growth of acceleration waves in an elastic body. At first we determine a property of the velocities of waves propagation and we determine some limitations for the free energy; then we resolve the above mentioned problem for the «small» waves working on the iperacceleration waves.

In this paper we prove that for elastic, isotropic, omogeneus materials for which the heat flux vector obey the relation of Cattaneo there is a unique continuously differentiable entropy function.
We consider an incompressible elastic solid which admits a configuration of equilibrium having the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped when external forces are absent. We look for a thermoelastic transformation mapping that configuration onto a cylindrical wedge . The problem we consider is analogous to the one where both and are cylindrical crowns. This case has been considered by T. Manacorda Referring to a system of cylindrical coordinates , and , we show that the transformation...
