The existence of global smooth solutions to the initial boundary value problems of one dimensional nonlinear thermoviscoelasticity is analyzed. The expressions of the constitute relations are as follows \[ e= \widehat{e} (u,\theta), \qquad \sigma=- \widehat{p}(u,\theta)+ \widehat{\mu} (u)v_ x, \qquad q=- \widehat{\kappa} (u,\theta) \theta_ x \] \((v_ x= \partial v/\partial x\), \(\theta_ x= \partial\theta/ \partial x)\) where \(e\) is the internal energy, \(u\) is the deformation gradient, \(\theta\) is the temperature, \(\sigma\) is the stress, \(v\) is the velocity, \(x\) describes the position of the material elements in a chosen reference configuration. It is assumed that \(\widehat{e} (u,\theta)\), \(\widehat{p} (u,\theta)\), \(\widehat{\mu}(u)\) and \(\widehat {\kappa} (u,\theta)\) are twice continuously differentiable for \(0\leq u<\infty\), \(0\leq \theta <\infty\) and the relations \[ \widehat{\mu}(u)u> \mu_ 0>0 \text{ for some constant }\mu_ 0, \qquad {{\partial\widehat {e}} \over {\partial u}}=- \widehat{p} (u,\theta)+ \theta {{\partial \widehat{p}} \over {\partial\theta}} \] must be satisfied. The main theorem is proved with the help of the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem.
