Aims & Scope
When it is possible to determine governing equation(s), shape(s) and size(s) of the domain(s), boundary and initial conditions, material properties of the media contained in the field, and internal sources and external forces or inputs, then the analysis determining the unknown field is considered mathematically well-posed and solvable. If any of these elements are unknown or unavailable, then the field problem becomes incompletely defined (ill-posed) and is of an indirect (or inverse) type.
Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering provides an international forum for the discussion of conceptual ideas and methods for the practical solution of applied inverse problems. The Journal aims to address the needs of practising engineers, mathematicians and researchers and to serve as a focal point for the quick communication of ideas. Topics include:
Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering provides an international forum for the discussion of conceptual ideas and methods for the practical solution of applied inverse problems. The Journal aims to address the needs of practising engineers, mathematicians and researchers and to serve as a focal point for the quick communication of ideas. Topics include:
- Shape design: determination of shape, size and location of domains (shape identification or optimization in acoustics, aerodynamics, electromagnets, etc; detection of voids and cracks).
- Material properties: determination of physical properties of media.
- Boundary values/initial values: identification of the proper boundary conditions and/or initial conditions (tomographic problems involving X-rays, ultrasonics, optics, thermal sources etc; determination of thermal, stress/strain, electromagnetic, fluid flow etc. boundary conditions on inaccessible boundaries; determination of initial chemical composition, etc.).
- Forces and sources: determination of the unknown external forces or inputs acting on a domain (structural dynamic modification and reconstruction) and internal concentrated and distributed sources/sinks (sources of heat, noise, electromagnetic radiation, etc.).
- Governing equations: inference of analytic forms of partial and/or integral equations governing the variation of measured field quantities.
Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering is a unique source of information in this new field that will offer researchers the opportunity to publish their ideas in a single journal. Papers should provide non-trivial examples of practical applications. Multidisciplinary applied papers are particularly welcome.
