    Uniqueness in inverse elastic scattering from unbounded rigid surfaces of rectangular type
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui; Yamamoto, Masahiro
    Consider the two-dimensional inverse elastic scattering problem of recovering a piecewise linear rigid rough or periodic surface of rectangular type for which the neighboring line segments are always perpendicular.We prove the global uniqueness with at most two incident elastic plane waves by using near-field data. If the Lamé constants satisfy a certain condition, then the data of a single plane wave is sufficient to imply the uniqueness. Our proof is based on a transcendental equation for the Navier equation, which is derived from the expansion of analytic solutions to the Helmholtz equation. The uniqueness results apply also to an inverse scattering problem for non-convex bounded rigid bodies of rectangular type.

    Elastic scattering by unbounded rough surfaces : solvability in weighted Sobolev spaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui
    This paper is concerned with the variational approach in weighted Sobolev spaces to timeharmonic elastic scattering by two-dimensional unbounded rough surfaces. The rough surface is supposed to be the graph of a bounded and uniformly Lipschitz continuous function, on which the total elastic displacement satisfies either the Dirichlet or impedance boundary condition. We establish uniqueness and existence results for both elastic plane and point source (spherical) wave incidence, following the recently developed variational approach in [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 42: 6 (2010), pp. 2554 2580] for the Helmholtz equation. This paper extends our previous solvability results [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 44: 6 (2012), pp. 4101-4127] in the standard Sobolev space to the weighted Sobolev spaces.
