Abstract
Wave propagation and reection from unilateral cracks in two-dimensional elasticity can be numerically modeled by suitable boundary element methods and nonsmooth mechanics techniques. This tool is used, in connection with Kalman-filter based optimization, for the study of the inverse crack identification problem.
