Objectives

The EUROMECH 406 Colloquium aims to create a common platform for groups working on development and application of modern image acquisition and image processing methods in fluid and solid mechanics. Recent progress in image recording and analysis techniques has introduced revolutionary changes into experimental methods in mechanics. However, we often observe that the development of image processing techniques in both fields of mechanics proceeds on parallel paths, very often solving similar problems without knowing from each other's work. The EUROMECH 406 meeting should help participants to gain knowledge and allow critical assessment of similarities or differences between image processing methods used in applied mechanics today. The objective of the meeting is to provide a forum for researchers in the methods and their applications in diverse fields, to present contemporary concepts and techniques leading to the advancements of capabilities and understanding of the mathematical and practical aspects of image processing methods in mechanics.

Format

The scientific program consists of plenary sessions featuring lectures by distinguished speakers and contributed lectures. Parallel sessions are not provided for. The special goal is to present invited papers and keynote lectures which summarize and critically evaluate the existing state of the field, to elucidate the novel mathematical and computational as well as practical aspects of the methods, and to indicate innovative trends and new perspectives in solid and fluid mechanics.

Proposed topics of the meeting

• Pattern recognition, analysis of size, shape and deformation
• Motion analysis, full field measurements of velocity
• Thermography (infrared, liquid crystals), scalar field measurements
• Stress and strain analysis
• Structure analysis, measurement of species concentration
• Three-dimensional image analysis, tomography
• New image acquisition methods: high speed & high resolution techniques
