Publisher's Synopsis
An algorithm for recovering a collection of linear cracks in a homogeneous electrical conductor from boundary measurements of voltages induced by specified current fluxes is described. The technique is a variation of Newton's method and is based on taking weighted averages of the boundary data. An apparatus that was constructed specifically for generating laboratory data on which to test the algorithm is also described. The algorithm is applied to a number of different test cases and the results are discussed.
