Asymptotic Analysis and Regularity Results for a Mixed Type Interaction Problem of Acoustic Waves and Electro-Magneto-Elastic Structures

abstract:
In the paper, we consider a three-dimensional model of fluid-solid acoustic interaction when an electro-magneto-elastic body occupying a bounded region $\Omega^{+}$ is embedded in an unbounded fluid domain $\Omega^{-}=\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \overline{\Omega^+}$. In this case, we have a five-dimensional electro-magneto-elastic field (the displacement vector with three components, electric potential and magnetic potential) in the domain $\Omega^{+}$, while we have a scalar acoustic pressure field in the unbounded domain $\Omega^{-}$. The physical kinematic and dynamic relations are mathematically described by the appropriate boundary and transmission conditions. We consider less restrictions on a matrix differential operator of electro-magneto-elasticity by introducing asymptotic classes, in particular, we allow the corresponding characteristic polynomial of the matrix operator to have multiple real zeros.

In the paper, we consider mixed type interaction problem. In particular, except transmission conditions, electric and magnetic potentials are given on one part of the boundary of $\Omega^+$ (the Dirichlet type condition), while on the other part, normal components of electric displacement and magnetic induction are given (the Neumann type condition).

We derive asymptotic expansion of solutions near the line where different boundary conditions change, and on the basis of asymptotic analysis, we establish optimal H\"{o}lder's smoothness results for solutions of the problem.
