East Asian Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2019 Elastic scattering governed by the Lame system associated with the third-type
or fourth-type boundary condition is considered. It was shown in [8] by two of
the authors that under suitable geometric conditions on the boundary surface of
the elastic inclusion, the longitudinal and shear waves can be decoupled. The
decoupling result in [8] was derived based on analyzing the local boundary
behaviours of the elastic fields. In this article, we provide a different
argument from a variational perspective in proving the decoupling result.
