About the Seminar
The Eighth Inverse Problems in Engineering Seminar is the continuation
of the informal seminars which were initiated at Michigan State University
in 1987. This seminar will be sponsored by the School of Engineering and
the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering and
Mechanics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Call for Papers
Papers are solicited from all areas involving inverse methods and their
applications. Four broad categories are being used to organize sessions.
Ilese categories and possible sub-topics are:
Presentations will be informal twenty minute talks. In addition, there
will be forty minute invited talks by:
Professor James V. Beck, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University
Professor David Isaacson, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Professor Joyce McLaughlin, Ford Foundation Professor of Mathematics, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Professor Daniel Tortorelli, Departments of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.
If the number of submissions warrants additional program time, a poster
session will be included.
About the Workshop
A workshop on selected topics in inverse problem solving is being planned
in conjunction with this year's seminar. Tentative topics of coverage include
mathematical aspects and relationships between different types of inverse
problems, use of genetic algorithms in solving inverse problems, and dynamic
programming techniques applied to inverse problems. Everyone registered
for the seminar are welcome to attend the workshop. The workshop will provide
general overviews in a tutorial format. The workshop will be on Sunday,
June 15th, in the afternoon.
How to Register or Submit a Paper
The seminar fee is $65. This fee includes access to the seminar and
workshop, lunches both days of the seminar, a barbecue on Monday evening,
and a copy of the proceedings. If you are interested in registering for
this conference, please contact the chair to receive registration material.
If you would like to submit a paper, please submit a tentative title and
an abstract by March 1, 1997. Send titles and abstracts or other inquiries
