This book contains the full papers presented at the MICCAI 2014 workshop on Computational Methods and Clinical Applications for Spine Imaging. The workshop brought together scientists and clinicians in the field of computational spine imaging. The chapters included in this book present and discuss the new advances and challenges in these fields, using several methods and techniques in order to address more efficiently different and timely applications involving signal and image acquisition, image processing and analysis, image segmentation, image registration and fusion, computer simulation, image based modeling, simulation and surgical planning, image guided robot assisted surgical and image based diagnosis. The book also includes papers and reports from the first challenge on vertebra segmentation held at the workshop.

As one of the oldest natural sciences, mechanics occupies a certain pioneering role in determining the development of exact sciences through its interaction with mathematics. As a matter of fact, there is hardly an area in mathematics that hasn't found an application of some form in mechanics. It is thus almost inevitable that theoretical methods in mechanics are highly developed and laid out on different levels of abstraction. With the spread of digital processors this goes as far as the implementation in commercial computer codes, where the user is merely con fronted on the surface with the processes that run in the background, i. e. mechan ics as such: in teaching and research, as well as in the context of industry, me chanics is much more, and must remain much more than the mere production of data with the help of a processor. Mechanics, as it is talked about here, tradition ally includes a wide spectrum, ranging from applied mechanics, analytical and technical mechanics to modeling. and experimental mechanics, as well as technical realization. It also includes the subdisciplines of rigid body mechanics, continuum mechanics, or fluid mechanics, to mention only a few. One of the fundamental and most important concepts used by nearly all natural sciences is the concept of linearization, which assumes the differentiability of mappings. As a matter of fact, all of classical mechanics is based on the avail ability of this quality."

This volume contains papers presented at the IUTAM Symposium on unilateral multibody contacts. Multibody systems very often include phenomena like impacts, stick-slip or time-variant kinematical loops which generate an unsteady behaviour of motion. Each of these unilateral phenomena alone leads to more complexity in analyzing the motion, and the situation becomes worse if such processes take place in multiple contacts of a multibody configuration, especially if these contacts are not decoupled by some force laws, for example. For these cases the complementary properties of contact dynamics and as a consequence the application of complementary algorithms allows the correct and consistent evaluation of the new constraint situation after each new contact event and avoids extensive combinational searches. The time-variant structure of such mechanical systems and thus the state-dependent change of the constraint combinations and the equations of motion afford special analytical and numerical treatment. Mathematical aspects can be characterized by linear complementarity problems (LCP) for plane contacts and by nonlinear complementarity problems (NLCP), homotopy or projection methods for spatial contacts. Worldwide, there exists an increasing scientific community dealing with these problems where, especially in Europe, the efforts are concentrated on the mathematical foundation, on applications for multibody dynamics and for FE-problems. This volume will be of interest to researchers and engineers in the field of applied mathematics, physical and mechanical sciences, and engineering.

Multibody dynamics started with the ideas of Jacob and Daniel Bernoul li and later on with d'Alembert's principle. In establishing a solution for the problem of the center of oscillation for a two-mass-pendulum Jacob Ber noulli spoke about balancing the profit-and-Ioss account with respect to the motion of the two masses. Daniel Bernoulli extended these ideas to a chain pendulum and called forces not contributing to the motion "lost forces," thus being already very close to d'Alembert's principle. D'Alembert considered a "system of bodies, which are interconnected in some arbitrary way. " He suggested separating the motion into two parts, one moving, the other being at rest. In modern terms, or at least in terms being applied in engineering mechanics, this means that the forces acting on a system of bodies are split into active and passive forces. Active forces generate motion, passive forces do not; they are a result of constraints. This interpretation of d'Alembert's principle is due to Lagrange and up to now has been the basis of multi body dynamics (D' Alembert, Traite de Dynamique, 1743; Lagrange, Mecanique Analytique, 1811). Thus, multibody dynamics started in France. During the nineteenth century there were few activities in the multi body field even though industry offered plenty of possible applications and famous re presentatives of mechanics were aware of the problems related to multibody dynamics. Poisson in his "Traite de Mecanique" (Paris 1833) gave an im pressive description of these problems, including impacts and friction."

The volume introduces basic concepts necessary for a modern treatment of inequality problems in finite degree of freedom dynamics. Tools from convex analysis, by now well established in non-smooth mechanics, are used to formulate the constitutive equations and impact laws. The lectures cover a broad area of non-smooth dynamics from primal and dual energy functions in variational and differential form to such application problems as chimney dampers or vibration conveyors. This includes frictional oscillations with bifurcation scenarios as well as analogies to small displacement quasi-static problems. The course is on an advanced level, designed primarily for postgraduate students, but should also be of value for scientists working on dynamic complementarity problems.

Das vorliegende Buch ist entstanden aus Vorlesungen des Verfassers iiber ) Materialpriifung mit Rontgenstrahlen, als die Wiinsche nach einer zusammenfassenden Darstellung dieser Verfahren und ihrer An wendungsmoglichkeiten, insbesondereaus den Kreisen der Industrie, immer zahlreicher wurden. Der Zweck des Buches ist, den Leser in das neue Gebiet, das Kenntnisse der ve schiedensten Fachdisziplinen verlangt, soweit einzufiihren, . daB .er selbst imstande ist diese Ver fahren auszuiiben. Mit Riicksicht auf die Verschiedenheit der Vor biIdung des Lesers und die Mannigfaltigkeit der mit der Rontgen materialpriifung verfolgten Ziele, ist der Stoff in zwei Gruppen eingeteiIt. Die Abschnitte der zweiten Gruppe, die sich mit den schwierigeren TeHen des Stoffes befassen, sind purQhSternchen gekennzeichnet und konnen ohne Unterbrechung.. der fortlaufenden Darstellung iibergangen werden. Die physikalisbhen Grundlagen wurden nur kurz beha.ndelt, um geniigenden Raum fiir die Beschreibung der AnW'endungsweise der Ver fahren an Hand von praktischen Beispielen zu gewinnen. Dies erschien um so mehr berechtigt, als hieriiber eine Reihe vorziiglicher Lehrbiicher von Ewald, Grossmann, Siegbahn u. a. bereits vorhanden sind. Von einer ausfiihrlichen Behandlung von Strukturbestimmungen wurde abgesehen und nur der allgemeine Gang des Verfahrens geschiIdert. Wer sich eingehender mit diesem, nicht mehr zur eigentlichen Material priifung gehorenden Gebiet befassen will, findet in dem Markschen Buch eine umfassende Darstellung dieses Gegenstandes. . Durch reichliche Beigabe von Tabellen soli die Ausfiihrung von Materialpriifungen erleichtert werden. Die umfangreiche Tabelle der bei Spektralanalysen leicht miteinander verwechselbaren Linien hat Herr Dozent Dr. A. Hadding in dankenswerter Weise fiir das Buch a- gearbeitet. ."
