Estimation of state and properties of various-scale geomechanical objects using solutions of inverse problems

The authors comment on features of formulation and structure of input data for the inverse problems used in rock mechanics to estimate state and properties of natural and anthropogenic objects at various spatial scales. The article gives examples of using solutions of inverse problems in coal bed degassing monitoring, based on data on changes of pressure in hydraulic props in the overlying bed, and in assessment of deformation parameters of inclusions, based on data of uniaxial compression tests of artificial heterogeneous specimens.
