in linearized elasticity, where, in fact, the whole energy is conserved, and in linear
thermoelasticity with periodic boundary conditions, where only a part of the energy
is conserved. The next result confirms the above expectation, and makes it precise
from the rigorous mathematical viewpoint.
Theorem 3.7. Let X be a Hilbert space, and let X 0 be a subspaces that is left
invariant by U.t/ . Suppose that kU.t/xkDkxk , for all t 0 and all x 2 X 0 .
Then, there exists at least one resonant period for ( 3.48 ) .
Proof. Without loss, we can take X 0 D X. Assume, by contradiction that for any
T -periodic force f ,( 3.48 ) admits a corresponding T -periodic strong solution. In
view of Lemma 3.2 , we may then expand both f and x in Fourier series:
f.t/D X
k 2Z
f k e {k!t ;x.t/D X
k 2Z
x k e {k!t :
Thus, from ( 3.48 ) we deduce that the Fourier coefficients x k , f k satisfy the equations

theorem [ 14 , Theorem 2(a)], [ 40 , Theorem 1.1.4], L is maximal symmetric. As a
result, at least one of the deficiency indices of L has to be zero and, therefore, the
spectrum of L must contain (at least) a non -e mpty subset,

that ( 3.78 ) does not have a solution for k D k, provided we pick f k appropriately.
In fact, if k! is an eigenvalue, we take f k in the corresponding eige n space, while if
k! is in the continuous or residual spectrum of L,wetakef k 62 R .k!I L/.The
proof of the theorem is completed.

Some Applications
Objective of this section is to provide several applications of the theory developed
in Sect. 3.4 to a number of problems involving hyperbolic-parabolic couplings,
including thermo- and magneto-elasticity and certain basic models of liquid-
structure interaction.

Three-Dimensional Linear Thermoelasticity (Revisited)
