Thermo-elasticity for anisotropic media in higher dimensions [PDF]
Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics, Vol. 44 (2013)
367-407, 2011 In this note we develop tools to study the Cauchy problem for the system of thermo-elasticity in higher dimensions. The theory is developed for general homogeneous anisotropic media under non-degeneracy conditions. For degenerate cases a method of treatment is sketched and for the cases of cubic media and hexagonal media detailed studies are provided.
