    Abstract:
    The degree to which a certain controllable state of elastic heat conductors provides constitutive information is discussed, and it is shown how such information may be employed to solve a problem in nonlinear thermoelasticity. In particular, the tractions, heat fluxes, and other fields necessary to hold an initially flat annulus in the configuration of a heated, pierced spherical cap are exhibited

    Keywords:
