We investigate an inverse source problem of the time-harmonic elastic wave equation. Some novel sampling-type numerical schemes are proposed to identify the moment tensor point sources in the Lamé system from near-field measurements. Rigorous theoretical justifications are provided to show that the locations and moment tensors of the elastic sources can be uniquely determined from the multi-frequency displacement data. Several numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the validity and robustness of the proposed method.
