The aim of this work is an analysis of a geometric inverse problem related to the identification of defaults, namely cavities in structures. The approach proposed in treating such problem is to transform it into a shape optimization one by the means of an error functional that can be interpreted as a constitutive law misfit functional. Moreover, this cost functional whose shape derivative is explicitly determined allows the implementation of a numerical minimization algorithm using the gradient information combined with the level set method. The efficiency of the proposed approach is highlighted by numerical results.
