Announcing
1 Day Symposium on
OPTICAL METHODS IN BIOMECHANICS
to be held at
Queen Mary & Westfield College University of London
on
Thursday, 16th September 1993
This one day symposium is being organised by the Bioengineering
Measurements Technical Group of the British Society for Strain Measurement
in association with the Italian Association for Experimental Stress Analysis
(AIAS) and the European Society of Biomechanics (ESB). It will comprise
a series of keynote lectures on special topics along with scientific
research papers. There will be time for questioning and discussion and
sessions for poster presentations will be included.
The aim of the day's presentations is to inform delegates of the
different aspects of optical techniques with a view to their use in new
areas. The presentations will be focused on the variety of techniques
available and their applications, rather than on interpretation of the
results.
The meeting will be of interest to people with varied backgrounds, from
engineers in industry and research establishments, to those with a medical
training. It will be of relevance to senior personnel to provide an overview
of techniques and equally to research students wishing to use optical
techniques in their work.
The day will include presentations on:
* Photoelasticity
* Holographic interferometry
* Electronic speckle pattern interferometry
* Moire fringe methods
* Displacement measurements
CALL FOR PAPERS
Contributions are invited for the topics outlined and other relevant
topics within the theme of the day.
Abstracts not exceeding 450 words should be submitted to the meeting
secretariat at the address below by 30 June 1993.
