The aim of this work is to reconstruct the location and geometry of a cavity C embedded in a linear isotropic material Ω via an exterior boundary measurement of the displacement field. The considered problem is governed by the linear elasticity system. This inverse problem of geometry reconstruction (ie, location and shape) is formulated as a topology optimization one and solved by minimizing a Kohn‐Vogelius type functional with the help of the topological sensitivity method. Some numerical results are presented using a noniterative geometric algorithm.
