Abstract: In this paper, we first establish the global existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions by multiplicative techniques, then further prove the existence of a uniform attractor for a thermoelastic system by using the method of uniform contractive functions. We finally investigate an alternative result of solutions for the semilinear thermoelastic systems by virtue of the semigroup method. 

Key words: thermoelastic systems, global existence, asymptotic behavior, uniform attractors, semigroup methods
