In the recent our paper we have derived an algorithm which lets us find numerical solutions of special cases of a nonstationary problem of thermoelasticity with imperfect boundary conditions of Barber’s model. In this paper we show the results of computational simulation for a case of the thermal resistance function. We have obtained a number of solutions for different situations and have discussed the unique, nonunique, stable, and unstable solutions. We have found cases when the unique and nonunique solutions alternate. The results have been presented in the form of diagrams.
