Book Description
Since the early 1990’s, elasticity imaging techniques are developed as a powerful supplement of the medical toolbox in diagnostic analysis and computer aided surgery. By solving a so-called inverse problem, information about the spatial variation of material parameters of soft (human) tissue are derived from displacement data, which can be measured noninvasively using standard imaging devices such as ultrasound or magnetic resonance tomography. The terms of quasi-static and dynamic elastography refer to the type of load situation, by which the tissue in question is excited. The extension of the theoretical formulation and implementation of the underlying inverse problem in quasi-static elastography to time-harmonic approaches poses several additional challenges, which are addressed in detail within the course of this study. We propose a robust strategy for the reconstruction, which takes advantage of the high sensitivity of the accuracy in harmonic elastography to the choice of the starting point. While not being reported in the literature up to now, the quite competing claims of quasi-static and time-harmonic elastography motivate a comprehensive comparison of these two techniques. Via a spectral decomposition of the curvature information of the underlying inverse problem, a clear explanation for an improved robustness of time- harmonic elastography in the presence of inaccuracies due to noise and/or numerical approximations can be given. Several numerical examples confirm these findings as well as the efficiency of the proposed reconstruction strategy. In particular, it is shown that for moderately low frequencies, it is sufficient to use very coarse finite element meshes, so that the only additional computational cost stems from the worse conditioning of the system matrix.

Mathematical Methods in Elasticity Imaging
Author: Habib Ammari
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691165319
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book is the first to comprehensively explore elasticity imaging and examines recent, important developments in asymptotic imaging, modeling, and analysis of deterministic and stochastic elastic wave propagation phenomena. It derives the best possible functional images for small inclusions and cracks within the context of stability and resolution, and introduces a topological derivative–based imaging framework for detecting elastic inclusions in the time-harmonic regime. For imaging extended elastic inclusions, accurate optimal control methodologies are designed and the effects of uncertainties of the geometric or physical parameters on stability and resolution properties are evaluated. In particular, the book shows how localized damage to a mechanical structure affects its dynamic characteristics, and how measured eigenparameters are linked to elastic inclusion or crack location, orientation, and size. Demonstrating a novel method for identifying, locating, and estimating inclusions and cracks in elastic structures, the book opens possibilities for a mathematical and numerical framework for elasticity imaging of nanoparticles and cellular structures.

Direct and Inverse Problems in Wave Propagation and Applications
Author: Ivan Graham
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110282283
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This book is the third volume of three volume series recording the "Radon Special Semester 2011 on Multiscale Simulation & Analysis in Energy and the Environment" taking place in Linz, Austria, October 3-7, 2011. This book surveys recent developments in the analysis of wave propagation problems. The topics covered include aspects of the forward problem and problems in inverse problems, as well as applications in the earth sciences. Wave propagation problems are ubiquitous in environmental applications such as seismic analysis, acoustic and electromagnetic scattering. The design of efficient numerical methods for the forward problem, in which the scattered field is computed from known geometric configurations is very challenging due to the multiscale nature of the problems. Even more challenging are inverse problems where material parameters and configurations have to be determined from measurements in conjunction with the forward problem. This book contains review articles covering several state-of-the-art numerical methods for both forward and inverse problems. This collection of survey articles focusses on the efficient computation of wave propagation and scattering is a core problem in numerical mathematics, which is currently of great research interest and is central to many applications in energy and the environment. Two generic applications which resonate strongly with the central aims of the Radon Special Semester 2011 are forward wave propagation in heterogeneous media and seismic inversion for subsurface imaging. As an example of the first application, modelling of absorption and scattering of radiation by clouds, aerosol and precipitation is used as a tool for interpretation of (e.g.) solar, infrared and radar measurements, and as a component in larger weather/climate prediction models in numerical weather forecasting. As an example of the second application, inverse problems in wave propagation in heterogeneous media arise in the problem of imaging the subsurface below land or marine deposits. The book records the achievements of Workshop 3 "Wave Propagation and Scattering, Inverse Problems and Applications in Energy and the Environment". It brings together key numerical mathematicians whose interest is in the analysis and computation of wave propagation and scattering problems, and in inverse problems, together with practitioners from engineering and industry whose interest is in the applications of these core problems.
