Abstract

As a mathematical model of nondestructive testing for an elastic medium we consider the inverse problem of determining the elastic tensor of the medium from its associated Dirichlet to Neumann map. This is an analogue to the inverse problem of electric impedance tomography which consists in determining the electrical conductivity of a medium from its associated Dirichlet to Neumann map. We give an overview of the recent developments on this area. We also give an application of the results to the inverse scattering problem at a fixed energy for an elastic medium.
