An inversion algorithm in two-dimensional elasticity. (English) Zbl 1046.74022

The paper examines an inverse problem which consists in finding the shape of an obstacle from the knowledge of its scattered field. The considered situation is a two-dimensional one, and the scattering body is a bounded, connected and closed subset of \(\mathbb{R}^2\). The field is described in dyadic form which allows a compact representation. The far-field equations are introduced by the use of Herglotz conditions, whereas the Herglotz wave functions allows to derive a pair of integral equations. Some theorems insuring the existence of solution are derived, and numerical experiments are presented (circular and elliptical region). The inversion scheme uses a procedure first given by D. Colton [Proc. Conf. Oberwolfach 1984, ISNM 73, 103–109 (1985; Zbl 0571.76079)] for acoustic field.
