Abstract: | The three-dimensional steady state oscillation problems of the elasticity theory for homogeneous anisotropic bodies are studied. By means of the limiting absortion principle the fundamental matrices maximally decaying at infinity are constructed and the generalized Sommerfeld–Kupradze type radiation conditions are formulated. Special functional spaces are introduced in which the basic and mixed exterior boundary value problems of the steady state oscillation theory have unique solutions for arbitrary values of the oscillation parameter. Existence theorems are proved by reduction of the original boundary value problems to equivalent boundary integral (pseudodifferential) equations. © 1997 by B.G.
