The approach presented in the paper is an application of the heat polynomials method (HPM) for solving one- and two-dimensional inverse Stefan problems, where the boundary data is reconstructed on a fixed boundary. We present numerical results illustrating an application of the heat polynomials method for several benchmark examples. We study the effects of accuracy and measurement error for different degree of heat polynomials. Due to ill-conditioning of the matrix generated by HPM, optimization techniques are used to obtain regularized solution. Therefore, the sensitivity of the method to the data disturbance is discussed. Theoretical properties of the proposed method, as well as numerical experiments, demonstrate that to reach accurate results it is quite sufficient to consider only a few of the polynomials. The heat flux for two-dimensional inverse Stefan problem is reconstructed and coefficients of a solution function are found approximately.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3423 - 3450"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47064441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kyriacos D. Papailiou, Professor Emeritus at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and founder of the Lab. of Thermal Turbomachines of NTUA, graduated from the School of Mechanical Engineering of NTUA and continued his education at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI Diploma in Experimental Aerodynamics, with Great Distinction). He completed his Doctorate in Applied Sciences at the University of Liege (with Great Distinction), and his Doctorate in Sciences Physiques at the University Claude Bernard, Lyon (Doctorat d’État with ‘mention très honorable’). While pursuing his PhD, he developed his first ‘inverse’ method, an innovative (then) method of designing blade geometry and inverse design of viscous boundary layers by selecting optimum velocity profiles. During the next years, Kyriacos held various research and professor positions at VKI, the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA (with Prof Vavra), and the École Centrale de Lyon, France where he formed a Research Group (10 engineers) and a Turbomachinery Lab within the Fluid Mechanics Lab. of the ECL. He also held engineering positions at SNECMA-Centre d’Essais Villaroche, Ste. Metraflu and served as a consultant to well-known companies. In 1978, Kyriacos joined the faculty at the School of Mechanical Engineering of NTUA and, until his retirement (2006), was Professor and Director of the Laboratory of Thermal Turbomachines of NTUA. In NTUA, he formed a similar Research Group (15 engineers), as well as the Turbomachinery Lab. in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the NTUA. In total, 15 mechanical engineers acquired their Ph.D. degree at NTUA and several others under his supervision in Europe. He also installed (in the end of the 1980s) the first parallel computer in Greece and, sometime later two of the 500 largest worldwide supercomputers foreseeing the need for computational and inverse design engineering problem solving. He designed several important turbomachinery elements (a 10 MW pump which cools the nuclear electricity production unit in southern France), compressors (axial and radial), ventilators (axial and radial) for various applications, turbines (axial and radial), as, for instance an axial turbine, which was used to power a Czech helicopter, as well as the water droplet separator (system patented by EDF) used to remove water from dry steam, in the case of the previously mentioned EDF nuclear power station. The successful two-phase flow design of the droplet separator resulted in a reduction of the nuclear power station volume by 40%. Throughout his career, Kyriacos received international recognition for his contributions to the aerospace and turbomachinery field. He was one of the early initiators of the International Society for Air-Breathing Engines (ISOABE), ERCOFTAC, vice-President (2001-","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"1669 - 1670"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41556722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To perform the task of estimating the desired parameters, inverse problem formulations are required, which entail to performing some extra measurements of certain accessible and relevant quantities. In this paper, justified also by uniqueness of solution conditions, this extra information is represented by either local or non-local boundary temperature measurements. Also, the development of numerical methods for the study of coefficient identification thermal problems is an important topic of research. In addition, in order to decrease the computational burden, meshless methods are becoming popular. In this article, we combine, for the first time, the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) with a particle filter sequential importance resampling (SIR) algorithm for estimating the time-dependent heat transfer coefficient in inverse heat conduction problems. Two different types of measurements are used. Numerical results indicate that the combination of MFS and SIR shows high performance on several test cases, which include both linear and nonlinear Robin boundary conditions, in comparison with other available methods.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3322 - 3341"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45236723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliable parameter uncertainty identification for robot arms becomes important. The current methods for uncertainty analysis have double-layered processes, in which the inner layer is for uncertainty propagation and the outer layer is an iterative optimization process. Such a nested double-layered approach limits computational efficiency. This work proposes a novel inverse method for parameter uncertainty identification using a two-way neural network. First, an element (FE) model of a robot arm is established and validated experimentally. Sensitivity analysis is then conducted using the FE model to determine a set of major parameters to be identified. A two-way neural network is next established, and the explicit formulae of direct weight inversion (DWI) use to inverse these parameters of the robot arm. Finally, the inverse result is validated by experiments. Our study show that the present inverse method can greatly improve the computational efficiency. It provides a new avenue to tackle complex inverse problems in engineering and sciences.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3279 - 3304"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42756368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fractional-order penalty term in Besov space is expanded by wavelet basis and computed using iterative thresholding algorithm. The regularized terms of blur kernel under tight wavelet frame systems are solved by the split Bregman method. Numerical experiments show that our algorithm can effectively remove different kinds of blur without requiring any prior information of the blur kernels and obtain higher signal-to-noise ratios and lower relative errors.

The present work introduces for the first time in literature, a fluorescence photoacoustic tomography (FPAT) based fully-nonlinear PK-FPAT reconstruction framework; in a 2-compartment PK-model and optical-fluorescence modelled frequency domain photoacoustic equation setting. From boundary pressure measurements, we solve the dynamic FPAT (compartment-concentration) state and (PK) parameter estimation problem with two shape-based RBF level-set reconstruction schemes in regularized trust region settings; a Jacobian-based Gauss–Newton filter and our newly proposed gradient-based gradient filter. The reconstruction algorithms are validated in two dimensional settings with synthetic cancer mimicking phantoms. Our PK-FPAT algorithms lead to more stable and superior reconstructions (observed in reconstructed normalized mean square errors having lesser-variation-between and reduced-values-across data-noise levels, respectively) than those obtained by PK-FOT for similar test cases, while, with respect to current DCE-MSOT schemes, incorporating more complete forward models including optical fluorescence and coupled-ODE compartment models with no simplifying assumptions (within the accuracy of the models considered) on the fluence, and reconstructing actual (rather than scaled) PK-parameters, in a fully-nonlinear framework.","PeriodicalId":54926,"journal":{"name":"Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"3227 - 3260"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47277270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
