Recovery of a space-dependent vector source in thermoelastic systems
In this contribution, an inverse problem of determining a space-dependent vector source in a thermoelastic system of type-I, type-II and type-III is studied using information from a supplementary measurement at a fixed time. These thermoelastic systems consist of two equations that are coupled: a parabolic equation for the temperature
[GRAPHICS]
and a vectorial hyperbolic equation for the displacement
[GRAPHICS]
. In this latter one, the source is unknown, but solely space dependent. A spacewise-dependent additional measurement at the final time ensures that the inverse problem corresponding with each type of thermoelasticity has a unique solution when a damping term
[GRAPHICS]
(with
[GRAPHICS]
componentwise strictly monotone increasing) is present in the hyperbolic equation. Despite the ill-posed nature of these inverse problems, a stable iterative algorithm is proposed to recover the unknown source in the case that
[GRAPHICS]
is also linear. This method is based on a sequence of well-posed direct problems, which are numerically solved at each iteration, step by step, using the finite element method. The instability of the inverse source problem is overcome by stopping the iterations at the first iteration for which the discrepancy principle is satisfied. Numerical results support the theoretically obtained results
