Abstract: In this note we develop tools and techniques for the treatment of anisotropic thermo-elasticity in two space dimensions. We use a diagonalisation technique to obtain properties of the characteristic roots of the full symbol of the system in order to prove Lp–Lq decay rates for its solutions.

Keywords: thermo-elasticity, a-priori estimates, anisotropic media
