TL;DR: An overview of the subject for both elastic and viscoelastic materials is provided, including uses in civil engineering, the food industry, land mine detection and ultrasonic imaging, and some applications for these constitutive equations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the AIC under the framework of Least Squares Estimation is used to estimate probability measures using aggregate population data and the Prohorov Metric Framework Consistency of the PMF Estimator.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite difference approximation to a hierarchical size-structured model with nonlinear growth, mortality and reproduction rates is developed, and the existence uniqueness of the weak solution to the model is established and convergence of the finite-difference approximation is proved Simulations indicate that the monotonicity assumption on the growth rate is crucial for the global existence of weak solutions.

TL;DR: A theoretical analysis is presented that allows one to include comparable levels of uncertainty in the two distinct formulations in making comparisons of the two approaches for inclusion of uncertainty/variability in modelling growth in size-structured population models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss inverse problem results for problems involving the estimation of probability distributions using aggregate data for growth in populations and discuss a computational methodology for the design of experiments to validate the model and estimate the growth-rate distributions in shrimp populations.
