The aim of this paper is to provide a general framework for solving a class of inverse source problems by using exact observability of infinite dimensional systems. More precisely, we show that if a system is exactly observable, then a source term in this system can be identified by knowing its intensity and appropriate observations which often correspond to measurements of some boundary traces. This abstract theory is then applied to obtain new identifiability results for a system governed by the Euler–Bernoulli plate equation. Using a different methodology, we show that exact observability can be used to identify both the locations and the intensities of combinations of point sources in the plate equation.
