Elasticity is one basic property of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites. It highly relates to many fundamental processes in solid physics. The investigation of elasticity is of interest not only to explore the intrinsic properties of a material, but also to improve their potential application performance. In this study, we predict photoacoustic eigen-spectrum (PAES) of single crystal. Then by solving the inverse problem of the generation of PAES, we propose a noncontact method to determine a complete set of elastic constants of single crystal in one test. Experiments confirm the proposed method accurately determines all elastic constants of MAPbBr3. Since this method is totally noncontact and does not require multiple specimens cutting along different crystal axes, it could be more competent for rare, tiny and brittle specimen, or when the specimen is immersed in turbid or opaque medium. Benefitting from these superiorities, the proposed method might be found prominent values in materials science and applications.
