The inverse problem based on a full dispersive wave equation

The inverse problem for harmonic waves and wave packets was studied based on a full dispersive wave equation.First,a full dispersive wave equation which describes wave propagation in nondissipative microstructured linear solids is established based on the Mindlin theory,and the dispersion characteristics are discussed.Second,based on the full dispersive wave equation,an inverse problem for determining the four unknown coefficients of wave equation is posed in terms of the frequencies and corresponding wave numbers of four different harmonic waves,and the inverse problem is demonstrated with rigorous mathematical theory. Research proves that the coefficients of wave equation related to material properties can be uniquely determined in cases of normal and anomalous dispersions by measuring the frequencies and corresponding wave numbers of four different harmonic waves which propagate in a nondissipative microstructured linear solids.
