The bilateral project is devoted to investigation of some partial differential equations (PDEs) and systems arising in mechanics and biology. Namely, Georgian team will construct and investigate two-dimensional (2D) hierarchical models for prismatic shells on the bases of thermal elasticity with microtemperatures. The dynamical governing system of the linear theory of elastic materials with inner structure whose particles in addition to the classical displacement and temperature fields possess microtemperature was constructed by Iesan and Quintanilla [1] in 2000. The works of Scalia, Svanadze, and Tracina (see, e.g. [2,3]) are devoted to the investigation of this three-dimensional (3D) model. Each of the hierarchical models which will be constructed for prismatic thermoelastic shells with microtemperatures can be considered as an independent physical model. The researchers of the Georgian team have an experience of construction and investigation of hierarchical models of elastic prismatic and standard shells [4-6], in particular, with the thickness vanishing (so called cusped shells) on the boundary (see [7] and references therein). The outcomes will be: existence and uniqueness theorems for boundary value problems (BVPs) and initial-boundary value problems (IBVPs) within the framework of 2D hierarchical models of the prismatic thermoelastic shells with microtem¬peratures; proof of the convergence of the sequence of approximate solutions of three space variables restored from the solutions of BVPs and IBVPs corresponding to the constructed 2D hierarchical models to the exact solutions of the original 3D BVPs and IBVPs; in the lower order approximations (hierarchical models) the peculiarities of setting boundary conditions (BCs) depending on the geometry of the sharpening of the cusped edges of the prismatic thermoelastic shells with microtem¬peratures will be studied. During the cooperation of the Italian and Georgian teams the background of outlooks for further cooperation in the study of the geometrically and physically nonlinear prismatic thermoelastic shells with microtem¬peratures will be prepared. That will be achieved by the systematic joint discussions of tasks by both the Italian and Georgian teams by electronic means and during mutual visits. Mathematically the above nonlinear problems will lead to the analysis of BVPs and IBVPs of nonlinear PDEs and systems. It is remarkable that some members of both the teams have an experience of the successful cooperation within the framework of the INTAS- South Caucasus project (see [8]).
