Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering is an interdisciplinary international forum that publishes novel research related to Mechanical Sciences.
Inverse problems deal with the estimation of unknown parameters or functions appearing in mathematical
models, such as those resulting from balance laws and constitutive equations, by using measurements of the
dependent variables and their computational solution. Therefore, inverse problems can be associated with
the indirect measurements of quantities that cannot be measured by primary sensors. Inverse problems are
mathematically classified as Ill-posed, that is, at least one of the following three conditions are not satisfied
regarding their solutions: existence, uniqueness and stability under small changes in the input data.
