Numerical solution for the Cauchy problem in nonlinear 1-D- thermoelasticity. (English) Zbl 0701.73001
An initial problem of classical nonlinear one-dimensional coupled thermoelasticity on $${\mathbb{R}}^ 1$$ is replaced by an adjacent initial- boundary value problem on the bounded interval (-R,R) with $$R>0$$ sufficiently large and the boundary conditions in terms of a far field solution to the initial problem; and for the adjacent problem a numerical procedure is proposed. Convergence of the procedure is established and a numerical example is included. The physical motivation for a particular choice of the material functions in the numerical example is not given however.
