Non-Destructive Testing Of Thermal Resistances For A Single Inclusion In A 2-Dimensional Domain, Nicholas Christian, Mathew A. Johnson Sep 2004

Non-Destructive Testing Of Thermal Resistances For A Single Inclusion In A 2-Dimensional Domain, Nicholas Christian, Mathew A. Johnson

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

In this paper we examine the inverse problem of determining the amount of corrosion/disbonding which has occurred on the boundary of a single circular (or nearly circular) inclusion D in a two dimensional domain W using Cauchy data for the steady-state heat equation. We develop an algorithm for reconsructing a function which qunatifies the level of corrosion/disbonding at each point in ¶W. We also address the issue of well-posedness and develop a simple regularization scheme. Then we provide several numerical examples. We shall show a simple procedure for recovering the center of D assuming that the boundary of W and …

A Review Of Selected Works On Crack Indentification, Kurt M. Bryan

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

We give a short survey of some of the results obtained within the last 10 years or so concerning crack identification using impedance imaging techniques. We touch upon uniqueness results, continuous dependence results, and computational algorithms.
