Inverse Problems in Mechanics

By Veturia Chiroiu and Calin Chiroiu

This volume addresses practical and concrete resolution methods for certain inverse problems related to material properties and behavior, including the inverse Lagrange problem, the behaviour of initially deformed metallic layered structures, and the behaviour of plates and structures with adhesive bonds. It is not simply a translation of its predecessor which appeared with the Publishing House of the Romanian Academy in 2003 (Probleme inverse in mecanica, Editura Academiei, Bucharest, Romania). Improvements outline the way in which the inverse theory is applied to solve some engineering problems. This new edition contains many improvements concerning the presentation, as well as new topics using an enlarged and updated bibliography.
