Thermo-visco-elasticity for Norton-Hoff-type models with Cosserat effects

We consider the quasi-static evolution of thermo-visco-elastic material. The main goal of this paper is to present how taking into account the additional effects may improve the result of solutions' existence. We added a micropolarity effect to thermo-visco-elastic model regarding Norton-Hoff-type constitutive function. This additional phenomenon improves the regularity of solution.
