Inverse Problems in Engineering Mechanics IIIAuthor(s): G.S. Dulikravich, Mana Tanaka\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Elsevier Science Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780080439518, 978-0080439518\nSynopsis\nInverse Problems are found in many areas of engineering mechanics and there are many successful applications [url] in non-destructive testing and characterization of material properties by ultrasonic or X-ray techniques, thermography, etc. Generally speaking, inverse problems are concerned with the determination of the input and the characteristics of a system, given certain aspects of its output. Mathematically, such problems are ill-posed and have to be overcome through development of new computational schemes, regularization techniques, objective functionals, and experimental procedures. This volume contains a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Symposium on Inverse Problems in Engineering Mechanics (ISIP2001.
