AbstractThe topological sensitivity analysis, based on the asymptotic behaviour of a cost functional associated with the creation of a small trial flaw in a defect-free solid, provides a computationally-fast, non-iterative approach for identifying flaws embedded in solids. This concept is here considered for crack identification using time-dependent measurements on the external boundary. The topological derivative of a cost function under the nucleation of a crack of infinitesimal size is established, in the framework of time-domain elasticity or acoustics. Introduction Consider an finite elastic body Ω ⋆ Γ ⊂ R 3 , externally bounded by the piecewise-smooth closed surface S, characterized by its shear modulus µ, Poisson's ratio ν and mass density ρ, and containing an internal crack idealized by the smooth open surface Γ ⋆ and with traction-free faces Γ ⋆± . Let Ω denote the crack-free solid such that Ω ⋆ Γ = Ω\Γ ⋆ . This Note is concerned with the identification of the crack Γ ⋆ from available measured displacement u obs on a measurement surface S obs ⊂ S resulting from the excitation of Ω ⋆ Γ by known applied timedependent tractions over the boundary S. The misfit between a trial cracked domain Ω Γ = Ω\Γ and the correct crack configuration Ω ⋆ Γ is expressed by means of a cost functional J of the form
