| Abstract: | The paper presents a review of scientific studies on development, of the classical and refined models of the thermomechanical
behavior of thin-walled single- and multilayer viscoelastic elements. Allowance is made for the temperature dependence of
the properties of the material and physical and geometrical nonlinearities in the case of monoharmonic strain as one of the
most typical types of deformation. Methods of solution of nonlinear connected problems of thermoviscoelasticity and results
of solution of some specific problems on vibrations and heating-up of thin-walled rods, plates, and shells in quasistatic
and dynamic formulations are discussed. A number of thermomechanical effects are noted. They are due to the coupling of mechanical
and thermal fields and physical and geometrical nonlinearities, taken into account either separately or jointly.
