Extract

It has been shown in [1, 2] that it is sometimes possible to justify the uncoupled and quasi-static approximations which are commonly invoked to simplify the solution of initial and boundary value problems in the linear theory of thermoelasticity. The justification involves showing, among other things, that the temperature predicted by the coupled dynamic theory is approximated by a solution of the classical heat equation.
