Time-Dependent Thermal Imaging Of Circular Inclusions, Donald L. Brouwn, Mark Hubenthal Jul 2005

Time-Dependent Thermal Imaging Of Circular Inclusions, Donald L. Brouwn, Mark Hubenthal

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

This paper considers the inverse problem of locating one or more circular inclusions in a two-dimensional domain using thermal boundary data, specifically, the input heat flux and measured boundary temperature. The forward problem is governed by the heat equation. We show how the position and size of such defects can be recovered using the boundary data and various approximations of the solution to the forward problem. We also consider the stability of the algorithm involved to recover the defects.


A Posteriori Estimate For Tikhonov Regularization Parameter, S. Abbasbandy Jan 2005

A Posteriori Estimate For Tikhonov Regularization Parameter, S. Abbasbandy

Saeid Abbasbandy

This paper deals the numerical solution of integral equations of the first kind with using regularization method. There are many stopping rules based on discrepancy principle or discussed in [3]. Here a new stopping rule is described which uses SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) and condition number of matrices. Finally, we give a number of numerical examples showing that the method works well in practice.

A Method For Solving Fuzzy Linear Systems, S. Abbasbandy, M. Alavi

Saeid Abbasbandy

In this paper we present a method for solving fuzzy linear systems by two crisp linear systems. Also necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of solution are given. Some numerical examples illustrate the efficiency of the method.

A New Method For Solving Symmetric Fuzzy Linear Systems, S. Abbasbandy, M. Alavi

Saeid Abbasbandy

In this paper we represent a new method for solving a symmetric fuzzy linear system by two crisp linear systems. Also necessary and sufficient conditions for the solution existence are given.


Transient Non-Linear Heat Conduction Solution By A Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method With An Effective Posteriori Error Estimator, Eduardo Divo, Alain J. Kassab Jan 2005

Transient Non-Linear Heat Conduction Solution By A Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method With An Effective Posteriori Error Estimator, Eduardo Divo, Alain J. Kassab

Publications

A Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method is formulated to solve non-linear heat conduction problems. The approach is based on using the Kirchhoff transform along with lagging of the effective non-linear thermal diffusivity. A posteriori error estimate is used to provide effective estimates of the temporal and spatial error. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the approach.
