Abstract
We consider the problem of determining quantitative information about corrosion
occurring on an inaccesible part of a specimen. The data for the problem consist of prescribed
current flux and voltage measurements on an accessible part of the specimen boundary. The
problem is modelled by Laplace's equation with an unknown term
in the boundary conditions.
Our goal is recovering
from the data. We prove uniqueness under certain regularity
assumptions and construct a regularized numerical method for obtaining approximate solutions
to the problem. The numerical method, which is based on the assumption that the specimen is
a thin plate, is tested in numerical experiments using synthetic data.
