Mathematical Problems of Generalized Thermo-Electro-Magneto-Elasticity Theory

abstract:
The monograph is dedicated to the theoretical investigation of basic, mixed, and crack type three-dimensional initial-boundary value problems of the generalized thermo-electro-magneto-elasticity theory associated with Green--Lindsay's model. The essential feature of the generalized model under consideration is that heat propagation has a finite speed. We investigate the uniqueness of solutions to the dynamical initial-boundary value problems and analyse the corresponding boundary value problems of pseudo-oscillations which are obtained form the dynamical problems by the Laplace transform. The solvability of the boundary value problems under consideration are analyzed by the potential method in appropriate Sobolev--Slobodetskii ($W^{s}_p$), Bessel potential ($H^{s}_p$), and Besov ($B^{s}_{p,q}$) spaces. The smoothness properties and singularities of thermo-mechanical and electro-magnetic fields are investigated near the crack edges and the curves where the different types of boundary conditions collide.
