Determination of forcing functions in the wave equation. Part I: the space-dependent case

Abstract: We consider the inverse problem for the wave equation which consists of determining an unknown space-dependent force function acting on a vibrating structure from Cauchy boundary data. Since only boundary data are used as measurements, the study has importance and significance to non-intrusive and non-destructive testing of materials. This inverse force problem is linear, the solution is unique, but the problem is still ill-posed since, in general, the solution does not exist and, even if it exists, it does no… Show more

“…Prior to this study, the reconstruction of a space-dependent force in the wave equation from Cauchy data measurements of both displacement and its normal derivative on the boundary has been attempted in [3,10,11]. This inverse formulation is, as expected, improperly posed because the unknown output force f (x) depends on x in the domain Ω, whilst the known input data, say u and ∂ n u, depend on (x, t) on the boundary ∂Ω × (0, T ).…”

“…In physics, the wave equation uses vibrations of a spring or membrane, acoustic scattering, etc. (1)(2)(3). The aim of this study: Firstly, to investigate and use finite-difference method (FDM) rather than boundary element method (BEM) in (1,2).…”

“…The work [6] considers the inverse problem for the wave equation which consists in determining an unknown time-dependent force function by applying finite difference method. Same method is used for an unknown space-dependent force function acting on a vibrating structure in the wave equation from Cauchy boundary data in [7]. In [8], inverse problem of finding space-dependent potential or damping coefficients in the wave equation is considered.…”
