1 Introduction Let  ⊂ Rn be a bounded, open and connected set, situated locally on one side of its boundary , which is assumed to be a C 2 (n − 1)-dimensional compact manifold without boundary. Suppose also  to be made up of two disjoint parts 0 and 1 ( = 0 ∪1 and 0 ∩1 = ∅), both connected and with positive measure. We look for functions u, θ :  × (0, ∞) → R and δ : 1 × (0, ∞) → R solutions for the nonlinear coupled system of the thermoelastic type with acoustic boundary conditions

Here,  denotes the partial derivative with respect to t and all these derivatives are in the sense of the distributions (cf. Schwartz 1966). We consider the system above under the initial conditions u(x, 0) = u 0 (x), u  (x, 0) = u 1 (x) for x ∈ ,

Precisely, this paper is concerned with the existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of global solutions for the initial-boundary value problem (1.1)–(1.9). Since the Eqs. (1.1), (1.2) have time-dependent coefficients α = α(t), β = β(t), one cannot use semigroup theory to study the solvability of system (1.1)–(1.9). So, to prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions we employ Faedo–Galerkin–Lions’ method and the energy method, respectively, with no
