The finite element solution of inverse problems in solid mechanics

This thesis presents numerical procedures for solving inverse parameter identification problems in solid mechanics. These procedures are applied to the detection of subsurface flaws or cracks and to the study of propagating cracks. The procedure for detecting subsurface defects is based on the pr...
