Elastic scattering by unbounded rough surfaces: Solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the variational approach in weighted Sobolev spaces to timeharmonic elastic scattering by two-dimensional unbounded rough surfaces. The rough surface is supposed to be the graph of a bounded and uniformly Lipschitz continuous function, on which the total elastic displacement satisfies either the Dirichlet or impedance boundary condition. We establish uniqueness and existence results for both elastic plane and point source (spherical) wave incidence, following the recently developed variational approach in [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 42: 6 (2010), pp. 2554– 2580] for the Helmholtz equation. This paper extends our previous solvability results [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 44: 6 (2012), pp. 4101-4127] in the standard Sobolev space to the weighted Sobolev spaces.

Variational Approach to Scattering by Unbounded Rough Surfaces with Neumann and Generalized Impedance Boundary Conditions∗
This paper is concerned with problems of scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic and acoustic waves from an infinite penetrable medium with a finite height modeled by the Helmholtz equation. On the lower boundary of the rough layer, the Neumann or generalized impedance boundary condition is imposed. The scattered field in the unbounded homogeneous medium is required to satisfy the upward an...
متن کاملVariational Approach in Weighted Sobolev Spaces to Scattering by Unbounded Rough Surfaces
We consider the problem of scattering of time harmonic acoustic waves by an unbounded sound soft surface which is assumed to lie within a finite distance of some plane. The paper is concerned with the study of an equivalent variational formulation of this problem set in a scale of weighted Sobolev spaces. We prove well-posedness of this variational formulation in an energy space with weights wh...
متن کاملScattering of Electromagnetic Waves by Rough Interfaces and Inhomogeneous Layers∗
We consider a two-dimensional problem of scattering of a time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave by an infinite inhomogeneous conducting or dielectric layer at the interface between semi-infinite homogeneous dielectric half-spaces. The magnetic permeability is assumed to be a fixed positive constant. The material properties of the media are characterized completely by an index of refraction, w...
متن کاملElastic Scattering by Unbounded Rough Surfaces
We consider the two-dimensional time-harmonic elastic wave scattering problem for an unbounded rough surface, due to an inhomogeneous source term whose support lies within a finite distance above the surface. The rough surface is supposed to be the graph of a bounded and uniformly Lipschitz continuous function, on which the elastic displacement vanishes. We propose an upward propagating radiati...
متن کاملAcoustic Scattering by an Inhomogeneous Layer on a Rigid Plate
The problem of scattering of time-harmonic acoustic waves by an inhomogeneous fluid layer on a rigid plate in R is considered. The density is assumed to be unity in the media: within the layer the sound speed is assumed to be an arbitrary bounded measurable function. The problem is modelled by the reduced wave equation with variable wavenumber in the layer and a Neumann condition on the plate. ...
