By virtue of the linearity of the model investigated, the basic initial-boundary value problem is conveniently modified into an auxiliary one; attention is paid to the uniqueness question, which is addressed through two alternative paths, i.e., the Lagrange identity and the logarithmic convexity methods, as well as to the continuous dependence issue. The results are achieved under very weak assumptions involving constitutive coefficients and delay times, at most coincident with those able to guarantee the thermodynamic consistency of the model.

In this context, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity of constitutive coefficients. Furthermore, we study existence of progressive plane waves under the strong ellipticity conditions previously determined. Finally, we detail the results obtained for a specific class of materials related to tetragonal systems.

We assume that a known point force is applied to the boundary surface of the half-space, and we can measure the shape of the surface over a certain finite-length interval. Then, if the geometry of the defect is unknown, we construct an algorithm to restore its position and size. Some numerical examples demonstrate a good stability of the proposed algorithm.

Research paper thumbnail of Decay properties of solutions of a Mindlin-type plate model for rhombic systems

First, using an appropriate family of measures, we show that the transient solution vanishes at distances greater than cT from the support of the given data on the time interval [0, T ], where c is a characteristic material constant. For distances from the support less than cT , we obtain a spatial decay estimate of Saint-Venant type. Then, for a plate whose middle section is modelled as a (bounded or semiinfinite) strip, a family of measures is used to obtain an estimate describing the spatial behavior of the amplitude of harmonic vibrations, provided that the frequency is lower than a critical value.

The composite is modeled as a mixture of a microstretch viscoelastic material of KelvineVoigt type and a microstretch elastic solid. The strain measures and the basic laws are shown and the thermodynamic restrictions are established. Then the linear theory is considered and the constitutive equations are given in both anisotropic and isotropic cases. Finally, a uniqueness result is established within the framework of the linear theory.
