QUINTANILLA Received 30 January 2002 We prove continuous dependence on the intensity coefficient and continuous de- pendence on the external data in the theory of magneto-elasticity. We do not re- quire the Lamé coefficients to be positive. We use logarithmic convexity arguments similar to those of Ames and Straughan (1992) in classical thermoelasticity. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 74F15, 74H99. 1. Introduction. In recent years, much attention has been directed to the knowledge of existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence in several thermomechanical situations. We recall the book of Ames and Straughan [2] where the energy method is widely considered as a tool to obtain qualitative properties of solutions. We focus our interest on coupling elastic effects with magnetic effects. A derivation of the equations and recent papers on magneto- thermoelasticity and isothermal magneto-elasticity can be found in [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. In this paper, we consider the dynamical theory of magneto-elasticity. The system of equations is ρu,tt −µu − (λ +µ)∇divu − α[∇×h] ×H = ρm, (1.1) βh,t +∇× [∇×h] −β∇× [v ×H ] = ρr, (1.2) divh = 0, (1.3) where u denotes the displacement, v = ut is the velocity, and h the magnetic field. A (known) constant magnetic field is denoted by H = (H,0,0), ρ, α, and β are positive constants, and m and r are the supply terms. Here and from now on, we use summation and differentiation conventions: subscripts pre
