Abstract :
A novel formulation for the crack identification problem is proposed. In this formulation, cracks are regarded as the equivalent field or potential sources due to the discontinuity of conductivity at the crack positions. This means that crack identification problems are reduced to the inverse problems of searching for equivalent sources. The system equation of the inverse problems, derived by discretizing the integral equation, is successfully solved by the sampled pattern matching method. As a consequence, fairly good results are obtained even in the case of plural defect problems
