Identification Problems in Linear Elasticity

AbstractLet Ω be a bounded domain inRnwithC2-boundary and letDbe a Lipschitz domain withD⊂Ω. We consider the inverse problem (determiningD) to the system of linear elasticityDi((μD(δijδrs+δirδjs)+λDδirδjs)Djus)=0in Ω,where μD=μχD+μχRn\Dand λD=λχD+λχRn\D. Under the condition on the Lamè constants (λ−λ)(μ−μ)≥0, we show thatDis uniquely determined by the complete knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. We also obtain an uniqueness result for the monotone case from one boundary measurement
