1. Introduction

Thermoelasticity investigates the .interaction of the field of deformation with the field of temperature and c~mbines,

on the basis of the thermodynamics of the irrevers-

ible proces ses, two separately developing branches of science, namely the theory of elasticity and the theory of heat conduction. At the present moment, after 20 years of the development, the thermoelasticity of the Hooke's continuum is fully formed. The fundamental assumptions have been worked out [1] - [5], the fundamental relations and different equations have been elaborated, the fundamental energy and variational theorems obtained. The entire classical thermoelasticity has been formulated in a number of monographs. On the background of the development of the classical thermoelasticity the achievements of Cosserat's continuum thermo elasticity

[6 - 9J , are still modest. Though all

more important theorems have been derived, the domain of

We present, in a concise form, the fundamental relations and the fundamental equations of Cosserats' continuum thermo elasticity. The principle of the energy conservation and the entropy balance are our point of departure
