2^nd Seminar on Ferroic Functional Materials &
12^th International Workshop on
Direct and Inverse Problems in Piezoelectricity

The Preliminary Program and the Book of Abstracts are now available.

Objectives

The joint seminar is dedicated to the diverse fields of ferroic materials including ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism and combined multiferroic materials. It covers mathematical modeling, experimental methods and industrial applications of ferroic materials and devices.

Aim of the combined seminar is to contribute to open problems in:

• numerical simulation (direct and inverse analysis)
• advanced material characterization
• discussion of fatigue, damage, cracks and reliability
• manufacturing processes and
• performance of piezoelectric devices

The overall intention of the workshop is to bring together experts from different fields of research such as engineering, applied mathematics, and materials science, as well as from the industrial sector.

The 2^nd Seminar on Ferroic Functional Materials and the 12^th International Workshop on Direct and Inverse Problems in Piezoelectricity will continue the previous workshops/ seminars that were animated by lively discussions from numerous participants.
