Unfortunately, the methods of investigation of thermoelastic steady state oscillation problems developed for the isotropic case are not applicable in the case of general anisotropy. This is stipulated by a very complicated form of the corresponding characteristic equation which plays a significant role in the study of far field behaviour of solutions to the oscillation equa- tions.
We note that the basic and crack type boundary value problems (BVPs) for the pseudo-oscillation equations of the thermoelasticity theory in the anisotropic case are considered in [3,14].
To the best of the authors' knowledge the problems of thermoelastic steady oscillations for anisotropic bodies have not been treated in the scientific literature.
In the present paper we will consider a wide class of basic and mixed type BVPs for the equations of thermoelastic steady state oscillations. We will formulate thermoelastic radiation conditions for an anisotropic medium (the generalized Sommerfeld-Kupradze type radiation conditions) and prove the uniqueness theorems in corresponding spaces. To derive these conditions we have essentially applied results of Vainberg.
Further, using the potential method and the theory of pseudodifferential
equations on manifolds we will prove existence theorems in various
functional spaces and establish the smoothness properties of solutions.
