Abstract

In this paper we employ a Cosserat model for rod-like bodies and study the governing equations of thin thermoelastic porous rods. We apply the counterpart of Korn's inequality in the three-dimensional elasticity theory to prove existence and uniqueness results concerning the solutions to boundary value problems for thermoelastic porous rods, both in the dynamical theory and in the equilibrium case.
