Localized Boundary-Domain Integral Equations Approach for Robin Type Problem of the Theory of Piezo-Elasticity for Inhomogeneous Solids

abstract:
The paper deals with the three-dimensional Robin type boundary value problem (BVP) of piezoelasticity for anisotropic inhomogeneous solids and develops the generalized potential method based on the use of localized parametrix. Using Green's integral representation formula and properties of the localized layer and volume potentials, we reduce the Robin type BVP to the localized boundary-domain integral equations (LBDIE) system. First we establish the equivalence between the original boundary value problem and the corresponding LBDIE system. We establish that the obtained localized boundary-domain integral operator belongs to the Boutet de Monvel algebra and by means of the Vishik-Eskin theory based on the Wiener-Hopf factorization method, we derive explicit conditions under which the localized operator possesses Fredholm properties and prove its invertibility in appropriate Sobolev-Slobodetskii and Bessel potential spaces.
