A note on the displacement problem of elastostatics with singular boundary values (Q2306319)

Summary: The displacement problem of linear elastostatics in bounded and exterior domains with a non-regular boundary datum \(a\) is considered. Precisely, if the elastic body is represented by a domain of class \(C^k(k \geq 2)\) of \(\mathbb{R}^3\) and \(a \in W^{2-k-1/q,q} (\partial\Omega)\), \(q \in(1,+\infty)\), then it is proved that there exists a solution which is of class \(C^\infty\) in the interior and takes the boundary value in a well-defined sense. Moreover, it is unique in a natural function class.
