Propagation of polarization in elastodynamics with residual stress and travel times

Abstract. We show that knowing the displacement-to-traction map associated to the equations of isotropic elastodynamics with residual stress we can determine the lens maps of compressional and shear waves. We derive several consequences of this for the inverse problem of determining the residual stress and the Lamé parameters from the displacement-to-traction map.
