Abstract
In this paper we give in two and three dimensions a reconstruction formula for determining cracks buried in an inhomogeneous anisotropic elastic body by making elastic displacement and traction measurements at the boundary. The information is encoded in the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map. With the help of the Runge property, the local Neumann-to-Dirichlet map is connected to the so-called indicator function. This function can be expressed as an energy integral involving some special solutions, called reflected solutions. The heart of our method lies in analyzing the blow-up behavior at the crack of the indicator function, which is by no means an easy task for the inhomogeneous anisotropic elasticity system. To overcome the difficulties, we construct suitable approximations of the reflected solutions that capture their singularities. The indicator function is then analyzed by the Plancherel formula. © 2003 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
