IDENTIFICATION OF NODAL POINTS OF ELASTIC INCLUSION IN ELASTIC PLANE

Abstract

A geometric inverse problem of identifying an isotropic, linearly elastic inclusion in an isotropic, linearly elastic plane is considered. It is assumed that constant stresses are given at infinity, and the displacements and acting loads are known on some closed curve enclosing the inclusion. In the case when the inclusion is a quadrature domain, a method for identifying its nodal points has been developed. A numerical example is considered.
