Stable algorithms for generalized thermoelasticity based on operator-splitting and time-discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods

This thesis deals with the theoretical and numerical analysis of coupled problems in thermoelasticity. Of particular interest are models that support propagation of thermal energy as waves, rather than the usual mechanism by diffusion. The thesis consists of two parts. The first deals with the non-c...
