Consider a cylinder made of a microstretch thermoelastic material for which one plane end is subjected to plane boundary data varying harmonically in time. On the lateral surface and other base, we have zero body force and heat supply. By using a Toupin type measure associated with the corresponding steady-state vibration, and by assuming that the angular frequency of oscillations is lower than a certain critical frequency, we show that the amplitude of the vibrations decays exponentially with the distance to the base. This decay estimate is similar to that of the Saint-Venant type.
