Abstract: In this paper, we consider time-harmonic elastic wave scattering governed by the Lam'e system. It is known that the elastic wave field can be decomposed into the shear and compressional parts, namely, the pressure and shear waves that are generally coexisting, but propagating at different speeds. We consider the third or fourth kind scatterer and derive two geometric conditions, respectively, related to the mean and Gaussian curvatures of the boundary surface of the scatterer that can ensure the decoupling of the shear and pressure waves. Then we apply the decoupling results to the uniqueness and stability analysis for inverse elastic scattering problems in determining polyhedral scatterers by a minimal number of far-field measurements.
