Artificial conditions for the linear elasticity equations

In this paper, we consider the equations of linear elasticity in an exterior domain. We exhibit artificial boundary conditions on a circle, which lead to a non-coercive second order boundary value problem. In the particular case of an axisymmetric geometry, explicit computations can be performed in Fourier series proving the well-posedness except for a countable set of parameters. A perturbation argument allows us to consider near-circular domains. We complete the analysis by some numerical simulations.
