Organizers: Roger Knobel, Kichoon Yang
Description:
Professor Joyce McLaughlin, Ford Foundation Professor of Mathematics
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, will provide 10 one-hour lectures
on "Using Spectral Data to Solve Inverse Problems."
These lectures will be a self-contained and comprehensive exposition on the use of natural frequencies and selected mode shape measurements to determine material properties of objects. These lectures will not only present the newest methods for solving these problems, but also give both mathematical and experimental insight into how the data depends on the material properties to be recovered. Emphasis will be on two-dimensional problems, with a brief introduction and insight given for one-dimensional problems.
Five additional invited speakers will provide supplemental lectures addressing related inverse problems in mathematics, science, and engineering.
