Abstract
A linear thermoelastic theory of materials with voids is considered. First, we establish a uniqueness theorem with no definiteness assumption on the elasticities and in the absence of restriction that the conductivity tensor is positive definite. Then, we establish a basic relation which leads in a simple manner to the reciprocal theorem and to another uniqueness result. Some applications of the reciprocity relation are presented.
