contents This paper considers an inverse shape problem for recovering an unknown clamped obstacle in two dimensions from far--field measurements generated by a single incident wave or just a few incident waves for the biharmonic (flexural) wave equation. Here we will develop a new extended sampling method (ESM) that is derived using the analysis of the well--known factorization method. We will also consider an ESM using both sound--soft and sound--hard sampling disks to identify sampling points where the reference disk intersects the unknown cavity. The use of a sound--hard sampling disk has not been studied in the literature whereas the sound--soft sampling disk has been used in most recent works. Traditionally the ESM seeks to find the location of the scatterer from limited incident directional data. Here, our method acts more like the factorization method to obtain the location as well as the size (and possibly the shape) of the obstacle. We present numerical experiments with synthetic data that demonstrate how effective this new implementation is with respect to noisy data and illustrate the influence of the reference disk radius on the reconstruction.
