We address the identification and reconstruction of 2D elastostatic and elastodynamic body forces from pairs of displacement and traction boundary data. As in the scalar acoustic case, an elastic body force cannot be fully identified from a single boundary measurement. We present some partial identification results for a single and multiple boundary measurements. We show that full identification can be obtained by considering boundary measurements along a full set of frequencies. We present and test two numerical methods for retrieving the body force.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
