Abstract

The present paper is concerned with an indirect method to solve the Dirichlet and the traction problems for Lamé system in a multiply connected bounded domain of ℝn, n ≥ 2. It hinges on the theory of reducible operators and on the theory of differential forms. Differently from the more usual approach, the solutions are sought in the form of a simple layer potential for the Dirichlet problem and a double layer potential for the traction problem.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 74B05; 35C15; 31A10; 31B10; 35J57.

Highlights

  • In this paper we consider the Dirichlet and the traction problems for the linearized ndimensional elastostatics

  • The classical indirect methods for solving them consist in looking for the solution in the form of a double layer potential and a simple layer potential respectively

  • It is well-known that, if the boundary is sufficiently smooth, in both cases we are led to a singular integral system which can be reduced to a Fredholm one

Summary

Introduction

In this paper we consider the Dirichlet and the traction problems for the linearized ndimensional elastostatics. It is well-known that, if the boundary is sufficiently smooth, in both cases we are led to a singular integral system which can be reduced to a Fredholm one (see, e.g., [1]) This approach was considered in multiply connected domains for several partial differential equations (see, e.g., [2,3,4,5,6,7]). Another one consists in looking for the solution of the Dirichlet problem in the form of a simple layer potential This approach leads to an integral equation of the first kind on the boundary which can be treated in different ways. Where [LyΓ(x, y)]’ denotes the transposed matrix of Ly[Γ(x, y)]
