For a planar, isotropic, linearly elastic square solid, the Lamé moduli are determined by the displacement under a known edge traction, assuming the displacement satisfies a particular non-degeneracy condition. Estimates of the moduli are derived by minimizing a functional and an error bound for the estimated moduli is given.
