On a Generalized Relaxed Saint-Venant Principle

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to obtain an extension of the relaxed Saint-Venant principle in order to cover the thermoelasticity of dipolar porous bodies. According to this principle, for a finite time t > 0, we identify a bounded domain D-t so that outside of this domain the displacement field u(i), the dipolar displacement field phi(jk), the temperature theta, and the change in volume fraction phi do not generate disturbances.
