| Abstract: | The connection between the thermoelastic potential and the state space approach to thermoelasticity is established. It is shown that a formulation based on a state vector that consists of the Laplace transforms of the thermoelastic potential and its three spatial derivatives has advantages owing to the simpler nature of the matrix involved. |
