Abstract

Two-dimensional transient inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) of functionally graded materials (FGMs) is studied herein. A combination of the finite element (FE) and differential quadrature (DQ) methods as a simple, accurate, and efficient numerical method for FGMs transient heat transfer analysis is employed for solving the direct problem. In order to estimate the unknown boundary heat flux in solving the inverse problem, conjugate gradient method (CGM) in conjunction with adjoint problem is used. The results obtained show good accuracy for the estimation of boundary heat fluxes. The effects of measurement errors on the inverse solutions are also discussed.
