Abstract
The factorization method, which has previously been used to solve inverse scattering problems, is generalized to geometric inverse problems of static elasticity. We prove that finitely many defects (cavities, cracks, and inclusions) in an isotropic linearly elastic body can be determined uniquely if the operator that takes the forces applied to the body outer boundary to the outer boundary displacements due to these forces is known.
