Virtual Fields Method Course

CITAB is organising a course on the Virtual Fields Method at the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD) that will be take place on the 8th July 2013 (http://home.utad.pt/~jmcx/VFMCourseUTAD/). The course will be given by Professor Fabrice Pierron, who is currently Professor of Solid Mechanics at the University of Southampton, UK. Professor Pierron is a leading expert on novel strategies for identifying the mechanical behaviour of materials based on heterogeneous tests, full-field measurements and inverse identification. Professor Pierron has been active in the development of the Virtual Fields Method, or VFM (www.camfit.fr) and is a co-author of a recent book on this methodology (Springer). Prof. Pierron has published over 75 ISI journal listed articles and co-authored more than 200 conference papers. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of Strain (Wiley) and holds a Wolfson Research Merit Award from the Royal Society.
