The equations of generalized thermoelastic diffusion, based on the theory of Lord and Shulman with one relaxation time, are given in anisotropic media. A variational principle for the governing equations is obtained. Then we show that the variational principle can be used to obtain a uniqueness theorem under suitable conditions. A reciprocity theorem for these equations is given. The obtained results are valid for some special cases that can be deduced from our generalized model.
