In this talk I will describe some inverse problems for the dynamical elasticity system with residual stress. This equation features nine unknown parameters-one density function, two Lame coefficients, and six residual stress parameters. I will discuss several identification problems using a finite number of boundary measurements. The main tool is Carleman estimates.
