Aims and scope
The scope of the workshop is focussed on the multifaceted field of piezoelectricity and covers mathematical modeling, experimental methods, and industrial applications of piezoelectric materials. The aim of the workshop is to contribute to the clarification of open problems in theory, numerical simulations, manufacturing processes, and performance of piezoelectrics. Thus, the overall intention of the workshop is to bring together experts from different fields of research such as mechanics, applied mathematics, and materials science, as well as from the industrial sector.
Main topics
Talks and discussions will give an overview of the state of the art in the various aspects of piezoelectricity. The topics cover:
- theoretical problems, e.g. constitutive modeling, hysteresis phenomena, polarization
- inverse problems, e.g. parameter identification, eigenfrequencies and corresponding numerical methods
- discussion of fatigue, damage, cracks and reliability, and corresponding numerical simulations
- advanced materials characterization
- applications, industrial challenges, manufacturing
The 7th workshop should continue and extend the previous workshops that were animated by lively discussions from numerous participants.
Program
Arrival is suggested on Tuesday evening, talks are from Wednesday morning to Friday afternoon. The length of the talks will be 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of participants.
