Contact Pressures and Cracks Identification by using the Dirichlet-to-Neumann Solver in Elasticity

Mohamed Larbi Kadri

In this work we present a numerical data completion method based on the Dirichlet-to-Neumann algorithm, by working in a linear elasticity framework. We begin by recasting the problem in terms of the Steklov-Poincaré operator which is commonly used in domain decomposition. Then we present the Dirichlet-to-Neumann algorithm and state the equivalence between both formulations. The proposed method is applied to identify a contact pressures distribution and interfacial cracks.
