Transmission and Interface Crack Problems of Thermoelasticity for Hemitropic Solids

abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate basic transmission and interface crack problems for the differential equations of the theory of elasticity of hemitropic materials with regard to thermal effects. We consider the so called pseudo-oscillation equations corresponding to the time harmonic dependent case. Applying the potential method and the theory of pseudodifferential equations first we prove uniqueness and existence theorems of solutions to the Dirichlet and Neumann type transmission-boundary value problems for piecewise homogeneous hemitropic composite bodies. Afterwards we investigate the interface crack problems and study regularity properties of solution.
