An initial-boundary value problem for bending of a piecewise homogeneous thermoelastic plate with transverse shear deformation [1] is considered. The unique solvability in distributional spaces is proved by means of a combination of the Laplace transformation and variational methods. This is the first, and essential, step in the construction of boundary element methods for numerical approximations of the solution. The model without thermal effects has been studied in [2]--[6].
