Abstract
The constitutive equations are derived for the thermoelastic di usion in anisotropic and isotropic solids, in the context of a new generalized ther moelasticity theory with two time delays and kernel functions. The coupled thermoelastic diffusion and the Lord-Shulman theories result from the given theory as particular cases. For anisotropic solid, the reciprocity theorem is proved; the convolutional variational principle is given and the uniqueness theorem based on the variational principle is proved.
