Va. Burov et al., INVERSE PROBLEM OF THE SCATTERING OF ULTRASOUND BY A BOUNDARY INHOMOGENEITY IN AN ISOTROPIC SOLID, Soviet physics. Acoustics, 38(6), 1992, pp. 555-558
The two-dimensional problem of the scattering of ultrasound by an unkn
own void in a solid is investigated. A nonlinear functional is formula
ted and the minimum conditions for it are used to derive a system of n
onlinear equations for determining the characteristic function of the
object. The number of positions from which to irradiate the object in
order to guarantee a unique solution of the problem is discussed.
