Show affiliationsWe adopt a recent work in Chung, Qian, Uhlmann and Zhao (Inverse Problems, 23(2007) 309-329) to develop a phase space method for reconstructing pressure wave speed and shear wave speed of an elastic medium from travel time measurements. The method is based on the so-called Stefanov-Uhlmann identity which links two Riemannian metrics with their travel time information. We design a numerical algorithm to solve the resulting inverse problem. The algorithm is a hybrid approach that combines both Lagrangian and Eulerian formulations. In particular the Lagrangian formulation in phase space can take into account multiple arrival times naturally, while the Eulerian formulation for wave speeds allows us to compute the solution in physical space. Numerical examples are shown to validate the method.
