โฆ Synopsis
We consider the reconstruction of elastic inclusions embedded inside of a planar region, bounded or unbounded, with isotropic inhomogeneous elastic parameters by measuring displacements and tractions at the boundary. We probe the medium with complex geometrical optics solutions having polynomial-type phase functions. Using these solutions we develop an algorithm to reconstruct the exact shape of a large class of inclusions including star-shaped domains and we implement numerically this algorithm for some examples.

It is established that oscillations in the low-frequency range are characteristic for a body with a heavyrigid spike-shaped inclusion, and corresponding modes mainly occur as flexural deformations of the tip of the spike, localized close to its vertex.
The analysis of a finite flat inclusion in an orthotropic plane elastic body with purely imaginary characteristic roots under inclined uniform loading at infinity is performed using Lekhnitskii's theory. The major features of the problem are exhibited and discussed.
Two methods are proposed for identifying plan e cracks in an anistropic elastic medium, based either on the use of a "nonreciprocity" functional or on the non-classical method of boundary integral equations and leading to the solution of certain transcendental equations. Examples of the reconstructi
