2016 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. This paper studies exact controllability prope rties of two coupled wave equations with variable coefficients by a Riemannian geometrical approach. One of the PDEs holds on the interior of a bounded open domain in m and the other on a piece 0 of the boundary . First, an exact controllability result is established by assuming the existence of an escape vector field with two boundary controls, the first of which is a Neumann control and the second a distributed control for the boundary equation. Moreover, a geometric structure between the boundary and the variable coefficient principal part is considered in order to implement one control on the boundary segment 0 only. Concrete examples are given for such geometrical configurations.
