    Abstract:
    The extent to which non-linear thermoelastic constitutive data may be determined by controllable states is delineated, and thermomechanical states that may be analyzed completely with such incomplete data are catalogued. These include non-homogeneous finite deformations coupled with quite general temperature fields in plane, cylindrical and spherical geometries. Two problems involving the states are worked out as examples
