Revisiting the Decoupling of Elastic Waves From a Weak Formulation Perspective

Analysis of PDEs 2019-05-16 v1

Abstract

Elastic scattering governed by the Lame system associated with the third-type or fourth-type boundary condition is considered. It was shown in [8] by two of the authors that under suitable geometric conditions on the boundary surface of the elastic inclusion, the longitudinal and shear waves can be decoupled. The decoupling result in [8] was derived based on analyzing the local boundary behaviours of the elastic fields. In this article, we provide a different argument from a variational perspective in proving the decoupling result.
