In this article, we study the antiplane deformation of the boundary surface of a rectangular
domain in the presence of a void and a shear force on the outer boundary surface. For a
formulated inverse problem, we develop some analytical results and use them to solve
the problem numerically for various elliptic geometrical configurations. The analytical
method allows us to give an efficient representation for Green’s function in the rectangular
domain. Then we derive the same Green’s function by an alternative method based on
Fourier series expansions. Finally, for a number of configurations, we demonstrate the
comparison between real and reconstructed defects.
