Abstract

The aim of this article is to study the existence and uniqueness of solution for a quasistatic fully coupled thermoelastic problem arising from some metallurgical processes. We consider mixed boundary conditions for both submodels, and a Robin boundary condition for the thermal one. Furthermore, the reference temperature, the thermal conductivity and the Lamé's parameters are assumed to depend on the material point.
