Abstract

Time reversal (TR) is a subject of very active research. The principle is to take advantage of the reversibility of wave propagation phenomena, for example in acoustics, elastic or electromagnetism in an unknown medium, to back-propagate signals to the sources that emitted them. In a previous paper [1], we introduced a time-reversed method for acoustic equation. In this paper, our aim is to extend this approach to elastodynamics equations. As the application we have in mind are concerned with ultrasound-based elasticity imaging methods, we consider both elastic and acousto-elastic systems of equations. We stress that our method does not rely on any a priori knowledge of the physical properties of the inclusion.
