On an inverse boundary problem in elastodynamics
Abstract
We study the simultaneous identification of the Lamé parameters λ and μ in three-dimensional static isotropic elasticity. For smooth coefficients, we establish uniqueness from the full Dirichlet-to-Neumann map when μ is axisymmetric, admits a multiplicative or additive separation on a product domain, or is quasianalytic in one fixed direction. These results require neither smallness of ∇μ nor real analyticity of the coefficients, and impose no corresponding structural condition on λ. In the axisymmetric and separated cases, partial boundary data suffice to determine μ.
