Abstract

This paper is concerned with the scattering of a time-harmonic electromagnetic wave by a three-dimensional elastic body. The general transmission conditions are considered to model the interaction between the electromagnetic field and the elastic body on the interface by Voigt's model. The existence of a unique solution is first proved in an appropriate Sobolev space by employing the variational method with the classical Fredholm alternative. The inverse problem is then investigated to recover the elastic body by the scattered wave-field data. It is shown that the shape and location of the body is uniquely determined by the fixed energy magnetic (or electric) far-field measurements corresponding to incident plane waves with all polarizations.
