In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour, as |x| → ∞, of solutions to the initial value problem in nonlinear three-dimensional thermoelasticity in some weighted Sobolev spaces. We show that under some conditions, solutions decrease fast for each t as x tends to infinity. We also consider the possible extension of the method presented in this paper to the initial boundary value problem in exterior domains.
