Some results in Moore‐Gibson‐Thompson thermoelasticity of dipolar bodies

Abstract

AbstractWe consider the mixed initial‐boundary value problem in the context of the Moore‐Gibson‐Thompson theory of thermoelasticity for dipolar bodies. We consider the case of heat conduction with dissipation. Even if the elasticity tensors are not supposed to be positively defined, we have proven both, the uniqueness and the instability of the solution of the mixed problem. In the case that the mass density and the thermal conductivity tensor are positive, we obtain the uniqueness of the solution using some Lagrange type identities.
