    Convergence analysis of the FEM coupled with Fourier-mode expansion for the electromagnetic scattering by biperiodic structures
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Hu, Guanghui; Rathsfeld, Andreas
    Scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic plane waves by a doubly periodic surface structure in R3 can be simulated by a boundary value problem of the time-harmonic curl-curl equation. For a truncated FEM domain, non-local boundary value conditions are required in order to satisfy the radiation conditions for the upper and lower half spaces. Alternatively to boundary integral formulations, to approximate radiation conditions and absorbing boundary methods, Huber et al. [11] have proposed a coupling method based on an idea of Nitsche. In the case of profile gratings with perfectly conducting substrate, the authors have shown previously that a slightly modified variational equation can be proven to be equivalent to the boundary value problem and to be uniquely solvable. Now it is shown that this result can be used to prove convergence for the FEM coupled by truncated wave mode expansion. This result covers transmission gratings and gratings bounded by additional multi-layer systems.

    Elastic scattering coefficients and enhancement of nearly elastic cloaking
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Abbas, Tasawar; Ammari, Habib; Hu, Guanghui; Wahab, Abdul; Ye, Jong Chul
    The concept of scattering coefficients has played a pivotal role in a broad range of inverse scattering and imaging problems in acoustic and electromagnetic media. In view of their promising applications, we introduce the notion of scattering coefficients of an elastic inclusion in this article. First, we define elastic scattering coefficients and substantiate that they naturally appear in the expansions of elastic scattered field and far field scattering amplitudes corresponding to a plane wave incidence. Then an algorithm is developed and analyzed for extracting the elastic scattering coefficients from multi-static response measurements of the scattered field. Moreover, the estimate of the maximal resolving order is provided in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio. The decay rate and symmetry of the elastic scattering coefficients are also discussed. Finally, we design scattering-coefficients-vanishing structures and elucidate their utility for enhancement of nearly elastic cloaking.

    Elastic scattering by unbounded rough surfaces
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui
    We consider the two-dimensional time-harmonic elastic wave scattering problem for an unbounded rough surface, due to an inhomogeneous source term whose support lies within a finite distance above the surface. The rough surface is supposed to be the graph of a bounded and uniformly Lipschitz continuous function, on which the elastic displacement vanishes. We propose an upward propagating radiation condition (angular spectrum representation) for solutions of the Navier equation in the upper half-space above the rough surface, and establish an equivalent variational formulation. Existence and uniqueness of solutions at arbitrary frequency is proved by applying a priori estimates for the Navier equation and perturbation arguments for semi-Fredholm operators.

    Direct and inverse elastic scattering problems for diffraction gratings
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2012) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui
    This paper is concerned with the direct and inverse scattering of time-harmonic plane elastic waves by unbounded periodic structures (diffraction gratings). We present a variational approach to the forward scattering problems with Lipschitz grating profiles and give a survey of recent uniqueness and existence results. We also report on recent global uniqueness results within the class of piecewise linear grating profiles for the corresponding inverse elastic scattering problems. Moreover, a discrete Galerkin method is presented to efficiently approximate solutions of direct scattering problems via an integral equation approach. Finally, an optimization method for solving the inverse problem of recovering a 2D periodic structure from scattered elastic waves measured above the structure is discussed.

    Inverse scattering of elastic waves by periodic structures : uniqueness under the third or fourth kind boundary conditions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui
    The inverse scattering of a time-harmonic elastic wave by a two-dimensional periodic structure in R 2 is investigated. The grating profile is assumed to be a graph given by a piecewise linear function on which the third or fourth kind boundary conditions are satisfied. Via an equivalent variational formulation, existence of quasi-periodic solutions for general Lipschitz grating profiles is proved by applying the Fredholm alternative. However, uniqueness of solution to the direct problem does not hold in general. For the inverse problem, we determine and classify all the unidentifiable grating profiles corresponding to a given incident elastic field, relying on the reflection principle for the Navier equation and the rotational invariance of propagating directions of the total field. Moreover, global uniqueness for the inverse problem is established with a minimal number of incident pressure or shear waves, including the resonance case where a Rayleigh frequency is allowed. The gratings that are unidentifiable by one incident elastic wave provide non-uniqueness examples for appropriately chosen wave number and incident angles

    Single logarithmic conditional stability in determining unknown boundaries
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2016) Elschner, Johannes; Hu, Guanghui; Yamamoto, Masahiro
    We prove a conditional stability estimate of log-type for determining unknown boundaries from a single Cauchy data taken on an accessible subboundary. Our approach relies on new interior and boundary estimates derived from the Carleman estimate for elliptic equations. A local stability result for target identification of an acoustic sound-soft scatterer from a single far-field pattern is also obtained.

    Direct and inverse acoustic scattering by a collection of extended and point-like scatterers
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Hu, Guanghui; Mantile, Andreas; Sini, Mourad
    We are concerned with the acoustic scattering by an extended obstacle surrounded by point-like obstacles. The extended obstacle is supposed to be rigid while the point-like obstacles are modeled by point perturbations of the exterior Laplacian. In the first part, we consider the forward problem. Following two equivalent approaches (the Foldy formal method and the Krein resolvent method), we show that the scattered field is a sum of two contributions: one is due to the diffusion by the extended obstacle and the other arises from the linear combination of the interactions between the point-like obstacles and the interaction between the point-like obstacles with the extended one. In the second part, we deal with the inverse problem. It consists in reconstructing both the extended and point-like scatterers from the corresponding far-field pattern. To solve this problem, we describe and justify the factorization method of Kirsch. Using this method, we provide several numerical results and discuss the multiple scattering effect concerning both the interactions between the point-like obstacles and between these obstacles and the extended one.

    An inverse electromagnetic scattering problem for a bi-periodic inhomogeneous layer on a perfectly conducting plate
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Hu, Guanghui; Yang, Jiaqing; Zhang, Bo
    This paper is concerned with uniqueness for reconstructing a periodic inhomogeneous medium covered on a perfectly conducting plate. We deal with the problem in the frame of time-harmonic Maxwell systems without TE or TM polarization. An orthogonal relation for two refractive indices is obtained, and then inspired by Kirsch's idea, the refractive index can be identified by utilizing the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a quasi-periodic Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem.

    The factorization method for inverse elastic scattering from periodic structures
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Hu, Guanghui; Lu, Yulong; Zhang, Bo
    This paper is concerned with the inverse scattering of time-harmonic elastic waves from rigid periodic structures. We establish the factorization method to identify an unknown grating surface from knowledge of the scattered compressional or shear waves measured on a line above the scattering surface. Near-field operators are factorized by selecting appropriate incident waves derived from quasi-periodic half-space Green’s tensor to the Navier equation. The factorization method gives rise to a uniqueness result for the inverse scattering problem by utilizing only the compressional or shear components of the scattered field corresponding to all quasi-periodic incident plane waves with a common phase-shift. A number of computational examples are provided to show the accuracy of the inversion algorithms, with an emphasis placed on comparing reconstructions from the scattered near-field and those from its compressional and shear components.

    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.
