Abstract: In one of his papers on the theory of thermoelasticity, M. A. Biot [2] has presented a solution to the differential equations very similar to the well-known Boussinesq—Papcovitch solution in the theory of elasticity. In this note it is proved that this solution is complete, the proof being based upon Mindlin’s theorem of completeness of the Boussinesq—Papcovitch solution in elasticity.
