Weak-strong uniqueness for measure-valued solutions to the equations of quasiconvex adiabatic thermoelasticity

Abstract. This article studies the equations of adiabatic thermoelasticity endowed with an internal energy satisfying an appropriate quasiconvexity assumption which is associated to the symmetrisability condition for the system. A G̊arding-type inequality for these quasiconvex functions is proved and used to establish a weak-strong uniqueness result for a class of dissipative measurevalued solutions.
