Abstract
The Green–Naghdi theoretical approach for thermoelasticity is extended here to thermo-electro-mechanical simple materials with fading memory that are electrically polarizable. Accordingly, the restrictions on the constitutive equations are obtained by exploiting an energy equality rather than an entropy inequality.
