Abstract: The extension of the thermoelasticity theory by weakly non-local dual internal variables enriched by an extra entropy flux for the thermomechanical description of the behavior of microstructured solids is presented. The internal variables take into account the distributed effect of microdeformations or microtemperatures (and their gradients) on the overall macroscopic behavior. The evolution equations for microtemperatures can be hyperbolic, which can induce wave-like propagation for macrotemperature due to the coupling of equations.
