A Note on the Displacement Problem of Elastostatics with Singular Boundary Values

The displacement problem of linear elastostatics in bounded and exterior domains with a non-regular boundary datum a is considered. Precisely, if the elastic body is represented by a domain of class C k ( k ≥ 2 ) of R 3 and a ∈ W 2 − k − 1 / q , q ( ∂ Ω ) , q ∈ ( 1 , + ∞ ) , then it is proved that there exists a solution which is of class C ∞ in the interior and takes the boundary value in a well-defined sense. Moreover, it is unique in a natural function class
