Topological Sensitivity Based Far-Field Detection of Elastic Inclusions
The aim of this article is to present and rigorously analyze topological
sensitivity based algorithms for detection of diametrically small inclusions in
an isotropic homogeneous elastic formation using single and multiple
measurements of the far-field scattering amplitudes. A cost functional is
considered and a location indicator is constructed from its topological
derivative. The performance of the indicator is analyzed in terms of the
topological sensitivity for location detection and stability with respect to
measurement and medium noises. It is established that the location indicator
does not guarantee inclusion detection and achieves only a low resolution when
there is mode-conversion in an elastic formation. Accordingly, a weighted
location indicator is designed to tackle the mode-conversion phenomenon. It is
substantiated that the weighted function renders the location of an inclusion
stably with resolution as per Rayleigh criterion.Comment: 31 pages, 1 figur
Elastodynamics of radially inhomogeneous spherically anisotropic elastic materials in the Stroh formalism
A method is presented for solving elastodynamic problems in radially
inhomogeneous elastic materials with spherical anisotropy, i.e.\ materials such
that in a spherical coordinate system
. The time harmonic displacement field is expanded in a separation of variables form with dependence on
described by vector spherical harmonics with -dependent
amplitudes. It is proved that such separation of variables solution is
generally possible only if the spherical anisotropy is restricted to transverse
isotropy with the principal axis in the radial direction, in which case the
amplitudes are determined by a first-order ordinary differential system.
Restricted forms of the displacement field, such as ,
admit this type of separation of variables solutions for certain lower material
symmetries. These results extend the Stroh formalism of elastodynamics in
rectangular and cylindrical systems to spherical coordinates.Comment: 15 page
A vector fast multipole algorithm for low frequency problems
Instead of the traditional factorization of the scalar Green's function by using scalar addition theorem in the lowfrequency fast multipole algorithm (LF-FMA), we adopt the vector addition theorem (VAT) for the factorization of the dyadic Green's function to realize memory savings for large scale problems. We validate this factorization and use it to develop a low-frequency vector fast multipole algorithm (LF-VFMA) for low-frequency problems. © 2010 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory (EMTS 2010), Berlin, Germany, 16-19 August 2010.

Generalized linear sampling method for elastic-wave sensing of heterogeneous fractures
A theoretical foundation is developed for active seismic reconstruction of
fractures endowed with spatially-varying interfacial condition
(e.g.~partially-closed fractures, hydraulic fractures). The proposed indicator
functional carries a superior localization property with no significant
sensitivity to the fracture's contact condition, measurement errors, and
illumination frequency. This is accomplished through the paradigm of the
-factorization technique and the recently developed Generalized
Linear Sampling Method (GLSM) applied to elastodynamics. The direct scattering
problem is formulated in the frequency domain where the fracture surface is
illuminated by a set of incident plane waves, while monitoring the induced
scattered field in the form of (elastic) far-field patterns. The analysis of
the well-posedness of the forward problem leads to an admissibility condition
on the fracture's (linearized) contact parameters. This in turn contributes
toward establishing the applicability of the -factorization method,
and consequently aids the formulation of a convex GLSM cost functional whose
minimizer can be computed without iterations. Such minimizer is then used to
construct a robust fracture indicator function, whose performance is
illustrated through a set of numerical experiments. For completeness, the
results of the GLSM reconstruction are compared to those obtained by the
classical linear sampling method (LSM)

Elastic scattering coefficients and enhancement of nearly elastic cloaking
The concept of scattering coefficients has played a pivotal role in a
broad range of inverse scattering and imaging problems in acoustic and
electromagnetic media. In view of their promising applications, we introduce
the notion of scattering coefficients of an elastic inclusion in this
article. First, we define elastic scattering coefficients and substantiate
that they naturally appear in the expansions of elastic scattered field and
far field scattering amplitudes corresponding to a plane wave incidence. Then
an algorithm is developed and analyzed for extracting the elastic scattering
coefficients from multi-static response measurements of the scattered field.
Moreover, the estimate of the maximal resolving order is provided in terms of
the signal-to-noise ratio. The decay rate and symmetry of the elastic
scattering coefficients are also discussed. Finally, we design
scattering-coefficients-vanishing structures and elucidate their utility for
enhancement of nearly elastic cloaking
