Summary

A formal solution of the coupled linear thermoelastic equations representing oscillatory motion of an elastic body is obtained, and the decay of the normal modes of vibration examined in detail. The main results of Zener's theory of the thermal damping of a vibrating body are then derived, and somewhat amplified, and consistency with the foregoing normal mode analysis established.
