This latest collection of proceedings provides a state of the art review of research on inverse problems in engineering mechanics.

Inverse problems can be found in many areas of engineering mechanics, and have many successful applications. They are concerned with estimating the unknown input and/or the characteristics of a system given certain aspects of its output. The mathematical challenges of such problems have to be overcome through the development of new computational schemes, regularization techniques, objective functionals, and experimental procedures. The papers within this represent an excellent reference for all in the field.

  • Providing a state of the art review of research on inverse problems in engineering mechanics
  • Contains the latest research ideas and related techniques
  • A recognized standard reference in the field of inverse problems
  • Papers from Asia, Europe and America are all well represented

Page 12 - The proper orthogonal decomposition in the analysis of turbulent flows," Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 25, pp.
Page 14 - The main idea in this method is to take advantage of the interrelation between the heat and mass (moisture) transport processes within the drying body and from its surface to the surrounding media. Then, the drying body parameters' estimation can be performed on the basis of accurate and easyto-perform thermocouple temperature measurements by using an inverse approach.
