Uniqueness in the Inverse Boundary Value Problem for Piecewise Homogeneous Anisotropic Elasticity

Boundary value problems for second-order elliptic systems (35J57) Numerical methods for inverse problems for initial value and initial-boundary value problems involving PDEs (65M32)

Abstract: Consider a three dimensional piecewise homogeneous anisotropic elastic medium

O m e g a

which is a bounded domain consisting of a finite number of bounded subdomains

D_{a} l p h a

, with each

D_{a} l p h a

a homogeneous elastic medium. One typical example is a finite element model with elements with curvilinear interfaces for an ansiotropic elastic medium. Assuming the

D_{a} l p h a

are known and Lipschitz, we are concerned with the uniqueness in the inverse boundary value problem of identifying the anisotropic elasticity tensor on

O m e g a

from a localized Dirichlet to Neumann map given on a part of the boundary

p a r t i a l D_{a l p h a_{0}} c a p p a r t i a l O m e g a

of

p a r t i a l O m e g a

for a single

a l p h a_{0}

, where

p a r t i a l D_{a l p h a_{0}}

denotes the boundary of

D_{a l p h a_{0}}

. If we can connect each

D_{a} l p h a

to

D_{a l p h a_{0}}

by a chain of

{D_{a l p h a_{i}}}_{i = 1}^{n}

such that interfaces between adjacent regions contain a curved portion, we obtain global uniqueness for this inverse boundary value problem. If the

D_{a} l p h a

are not known but are subanalytic subsets of

m a t h b b R^{3}

with curved boundaries, then we also obtain global uniqueness.
