Abstract
The paper is concerned with initial‐boundary value problem in two‐dimensional (2‐D) non‐linear thermoelasticity which arises as a mathematical model of shape memory alloys. The problem has the form of viscoelasticity system with fourth order capillarity‐like term coupled with heat conduction equation with mechanical dissipation.
The corresponding elastic energy is a nonconvex multiple‐well function of strain, with the shape changing qualitatively with temperature. Under assumption on the growth of this energy with respect to temperature we prove global in time existence and uniqueness of solutions for large data. The existence proof is based on parabolic decomposition of the elasticity system and application of the Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem. The main part of the proof consists in deriving a priori Hölder estimates by successive improvement of energy estimates. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we consider a one-dimensional non-linear system of thermoelasticity with second sound. We establish an exponential decay result for solutions with small 'enough' initial data.
