Resumen de Flaw Identification in Elastic Solids: theory and Experiments

F. Guarracino, V. Mallardo, V. Minutolo, A. Gesualdo, L. Nunziante

• In this work the problem of identificating flaws or voids in elastic solids is addressed both from a theoretical and an experimental point of view. Following a so called inverse procedure, which is based on appropriately devised experiments and a particular bounding of the strain energy, a gap functional for flaw identification is proposed.
