    The far-field equations in linear elasticity -- an inversion scheme (English)
    0 references
    An inverse scattering problem of three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic elastodynamics is discussed. First, a direct scattering problem for a cavity or a rigid body in \(E^3\) is formulated, and a far-field dyadic solution to the problem in terms of a free-space Green's function is obtained. Next, an inverse problem is formulated in which a shape of the scatterer is to be found using only longitudinal or transversal farfield data. A solution to the problem in terms of the Herglotz tensor functions [see \textit{G. Dassios} and \textit{Z. Rigou}, ibid. 77, 911--923 (1997; Zbl 0910.73017)] is proposed, and the case of a rigid spherical scatterer is discussed in detail.
