A boundary element method is derived for solving a class of boundary value problems governing generalized plane thermoelastic deformations of anisotropic elastic materials. The method involves boundary integrals only and provides a simple boundary element procedure for a wide class of problems which do not involve inertia or coupling effects. Numerical results are given for some specific problems in order to assess the effectiveness of the method.
