The boundary integral representation for thermoelastic problems involves a domain integral term originated from the thermal strain. In this paper, the dual reciprocity method (DRM) is utilized to convert the domain integral into boundary integral terms. In the DRM formulation, instead of using the particular solutions associated with a suitable radial basis function, particular solutions are first assumed and the corresponding basis functions are then derived. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through some numerical examples.
