## Carleman estimates for some anisotropic elasticity systems and applications

 1 Wichita State University, 1845 Fairmount, Wichita, KS, 67260-0033

Received  October 2011 Revised  February 2012 Published  March 2012

We show that under some conditions one can obtain Carleman type estimates for the transversely isotropic elasticity system with residual stress. We consider both time dependent and static cases. The main idea is to reduce this system to a principally upper triangular one and the main technical tool is Carleman estimates with two large parameters for general second order partial differential operators.
