Abstract

We consider nonlinear elastic wave equations generalizing Gol'dberg's five constants model. We analyze the nonlinear interaction of two distorted plane waves and characterize the possible nonlinear responses. Using the boundary measurements of the nonlinear responses, we solve the inverse problem of determining elastic parameters from the displacement-to-traction map.
