A bending theory of porous thermoelastic plates

This article is concerned with a plate theory for thermoelastic materials with voids. We establish the field equations for the bending of thermoelastic thin plates made from an isotropic and homogeneous material in the context of the dynamic linear theory. Then, we present a uniqueness theorem with no definiteness assumptions on the constitutive coefficients. Finally, by means of the logarithmic convexity method, we obtain continuous dependence results and study the instability of the solutions.
