On the inverse emergent plane crack problem

This paper deals with the detection of emergent plane cracks, by using boundary measurements. An identifiability result (uniqueness of the solution) is first proved. Then, we look at the stability of this solution with respect to the measurement. A weak stability result is proved, as well as a Lipshitz stability result for straight cracks, by using domain-derivative techniques. © 1998 B. G. Teubner Stuttgart—John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
