Based on coupled properties of electricity, magnetism, heat and force, it is hard to solve the material's electric behavior, magnetic behavior, temperature field, stress distribution and deformation distribution under the action of all kinds of external fields in usual way. It is necessary that the problems are solved by numerical methods. However variational principle is the foundation of these numerical methods which were widely used. In this paper, the generalized variational principles of electro-magneto-thermo-elasto-dynamics are established by variational integral method. And these variational principles can be degenerated into variational principles of simple coupled properties materials, which offer theoretical support for numerical methods of coupled problems of electro-magneto-thermo- elasticity.
