Inverse Modeling: Theory and Engineering Examples

Yarlagadda, Rahul Rama Swamy

Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Mechanical Engineering.
Over the last two decades inverse problems have become increasingly popular due to their widespread applications. This popularity continuously demands designers to find alternative methods, to solve the inverse problems, which are efficient and accurate. Using effective techniques that are both highly accurate and of low computational cost is of highest priority. This thesis presents a method for solving inverse problems through Artificial Neural Network (ANN) theory. This thesis also presents a method to apply Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm to solve inverse problems. GWO is a recent optimization method demonstrating great results. Both of the methods are then compared to traditional methods such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Four classical engineering design problems are used to compare the four methods' performance. The results from the engineering design problems show that the GWO outperforms other methods in terms of efficiency and accuracy. The error is comparable among the proposed ANN method and PSO method, while the latter has better computational efficiency.
