A one dimensional problem for SH waves in an elastic medium is treated which can be written as v tt = A −1 ( Av y ) y , A = (ϱμ) 1/2 , ϱ = density, and μ = shear modulus. Assume A ϵ C 1 and A ′/ A ϵ L 1 ; from an input v y ( t , 0) = ∂( t ) let the response v ( t , 0) = g ( t ) be measured ( v ( t, y ) = 0 for t < 0). Inverse scattering techniques are generalized to recover A ( y ) for y > 0 in terms of the solution K of a Gelfand‐Levitan type equation, .
