We study the uniqueness of some inverse source problems arising in thermoelastic models of type-III. We suppose that the source terms can be decomposed as a product of a time dependent and a space dependent function, i.e. g ⁢ ( t ) ⁢ 𝐟 ⁢ ( 𝐱 ) {g(t)\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x})} for the load source and g ⁢ ( t ) ⁢ f ⁢ ( 𝐱 ) {g(t)f(\mathbf{x})} for the heat source. In the first inverse source problem, the source 𝐟 ⁢ ( 𝐱 ) {\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x})} has to be determined from the final in time measurem
