We have investigated a dynamic thermoviscoelastic system (2003), establishing existence and uniqueness results for a related initial and boundary values problem. The aim of the present paper is to study the asymptotic behavior of the solution to the above problem as the power of the acceleration forces goes to zero. In particular, well-posedness and regularity results for the limit (quasistatic) problem are recovered.
1. Introduction
A three-dimensional model for thermoviscoelastic phenomena proposed by Fremond has been investigated in [2] from the point of view of existence and uniqueness of solutions. In the present paper, we examine the asymptotic ...
