Topological Derivatives in Plane Elasticity

We present a method for construction of the topological derivatives in plane elasticity. It is assumed that a hole is created in the subdomain of the elastic body which is filled out with isotropic material. The asymptotic analysis of elliptic boundary value problems in singularly perturbed geometrical domains is used in order to derive the asymptotics of the shape functionals depending on the solutions to the boundary value problems. Our method allows for the asymptotic expansions of arbitrary order, since the explicit solutions to the boundary value problems are obtained by the method of elastic potentials. Some numerical results are presented to show the applicability of the proposed method in numerical analysis of elliptic problems.
