Workshop on Solid Mechanics –
March, 2004
Workshop Description:
Here we focus on a number of rapidly
advancing inverse problems fields including medical imaging through
elastography, inverse problems for multiscale stochastic models,
methods for inverse problems in nanomechanics and multiscale mechanics.
Organizer:
Antoinette Maniatty
Background:
During the inaugural year for the newly
established IPRPI center, we are organizing day-long workshops to
discuss inverse problems in a number of disciplines. The first in
this series was devoted to Geophysical Imaging and was held on January
30, 2004. The second of these is the one described here, devoted
to parameter identification problems in solid mechanics, which will
be held on March 24, 2004. In addition, there will be an IPRPI Center
Opening Conference at Rensselaer, April 5-7, 2004.
Location:
The workshop will be held in the Shelnutt
Gallery, Room 3606, in the Rensselaer Union located at the eastern
edge of campus on 15th Street in Troy.

Housing:
There are a number of places to stay
in the Troy/Albany/Schenectady area that are convenient to RPI.
We have reserved a block of rooms at a reasonable
hotel close to campus:
Franklin Square Inn and Suites

When you request a room, you should mention: "RPI Workshop
on Inverse Problems in Solid Mechanics." The rooms will be
held until March 10.
Registration:
No formal registration is needed, but in order to have an idea of
how many we need to accommodate, please let Alice Baker (mclauj3@rpi.edu)
know if you plan to attend.
A/V Equipment:
The workshop will provide
a computer projector and an overhead projector. If additional equipment
is needed, please contact Alice Baker, mclauj3@rpi.edu.
Format:
The schedule is given above.
There will be four formal presentations
to serve as a focus for discussion. We are hoping to maintain an
emphasis on discussion and participation, and encourage all participants
to bring overhead/laptop presentations along with them. After the
formal presentations, there will be an opportunity for discussion.
