Inverse problems occur in a wide variey of fields. In general, the inverse problem can be defined as one where one should estimate the cause from the result, while the direct problem is concerned with how to obtain the result from the cause. The aim of this symposium was to gather scientists and researchers in engineering mechanics concerned with inverse problems in

order to exchange research result and develop computational and experimentalapproaches to solve inverse problems. The contributions in this volume cover the following subjects: mathematical and computational aspects of

inverse problems, parameter or system identification,

shape determination, sensitivity analysis, optimization,

material property characterization, ultrasonic nondestructive testing, elastodynamic inverse problems, thermal inverse problems, and other

miscellaneous engineering applications.
