    Abstract Two homogeneous anisotropic materials are butted together to form a contact surface within a single composite material (the specimen). An inverse boundary element method (BEM) is developed to determine the components of the hydraulic conductivity tensor of each material and the position of the contact surface. A steady state flow is forced through the specimen by the application of a constant pressure differential on its opposite faces. Experimental measurements (simulated) of pressure and average hydraulic flux at exposed boundaries are then used in a modified least squares functional. This functional minimises the gap between the More >
