Steady state oscillation problems in the theory of elasticity for chiral materials (Q2568925)

The paper is concerned with study of the three-dimensional basic boundary value problems of steady state oscillations, i.e., the time harmonic dependent dynamic case, of the elasticity theory of hemitropic bodies by the layer potentials method. It should be noted that in comparison with the static and pseudo-oscillation cases here essential difficulties arise in the proof of uniqueness and existence of solutions. Also, in this paper the generalized Sommerfeld-Kupradze type radiation conditions are formulated which play a crucial role to establish the uniqueness results in the case of exterior boundary value problems. Further, the boundary integral oprators generated by the single and double layer potentials are studied and their ellipticity and normal solvability proprties are established.
