Abstract--In the present study a transient inverse geometry heat conduction problem (shape identification
probiem) is soived using <he Conjugate Gradient Method (CC%i) and Boundary Element Method (BEM)based interse algorithm to estimate the unknown irregular boundary shape. Results obtained by using the
conjugate gradient method to solve this inverse moving boundary
problems are justified based on the
numerical experiments. It is concluded that the accurate configuration
can be estimated by the conjugate
gradient method except for the initial and final time. The reason and improvement
of this singularity are
addressed. Finally the effects of the measurement
errors on the inverse solutions are discussed. 0 1998

1. INTRODUCTION
The applications
of Inverse Heat Conduction
Probiems (IHCP) can be found in several engineering
fields, such as the determination
of thermal properties
[l], contact resistance [2], etc. Lesnic ft al. [3] used
boundary element method to solve one-dimensional
IHCP in estimating
boundary
thermal
behavior.
Recently, thermal imaging has become another area
of active inverse problem research, and much research
has been devoted to infrared scanners and their applications to nondestructive
evaluation
(NDE) [45].
The approaches
taken to solve NDE problems are
based on either the steady or unsteady state response
of a body subjected to thermal sources.
In the previous work by Huang and Chao [6!: a
steady-state
shape identification
problem has been
solved successfully by using both the Levenberg-Marquardt method 1171
and conjugate gradient method [S].
They concluded that the Conjugate Gradient Method
(CGM) is betl;er than the Levenberg-Marquardt
Method (LMM.) since the former needs very short
computer time, does not require a very accurate initial
guess of the boundary shape and needs fewer sensors.
This similar problem has been solved by Hsieh and
Kassab [9] and Liu and Zhang [lo]. However the
techniques they applied are applicable only for the
steady-state case.

measurements
(either direct or infrared type), based
on the boundary element method, i.e. now the boundary shape is a function of time. This makes the entire
problem more difficult than the steady-state one since
the number of unknowns are increased tremendously.
Therefore the Levenberg-Marquardt
method holds
little promise in solving this kind of identification
problem because it is applicable for only parameter
estimation
problems but now the inverse transient
shape identification
problem belongs to the function
estimation problems. For this reason only the conjugate gradient method is applied here. This approach
can be applied to NDE techniques and other problems
such as the interface geometry identification
for the

The use of Boundary Element Method (BEM) is
suggested by the basic nature of the inverse problem
(to search an unknown domain, thus an unknown
surface), because domain discretization
is avoided.
More specifically, the advantage
gained by BEMbased algorithm is the ability to readily accommodate
the changes in the unknown boundary
shape as it
evolves from its initial to its final shape.
The present work addresses the developments
of
the conjugate
gradient
algorithms
for estimating
unknown
boundary
shape in transient
heat conduction problem.
The conjugate
gradient method
_ derives from the perturbation
principles and transforms the inverse problem to the solution of three
problems,
namely, the direct, sensitivity
and the
adjoint problem. The method will be discussed in
detail.

locations and time are considered available.
Referring to Fig. 1, we assumed that M sensors
installed along y = 0 are used to record the temperature
information
to identify
boundary
configuration along y = f(x, t) in the inverse calculations.
Let the temperature reading taken within these sensors
be denoted by Y(x,, 0, t) = Y,(t), m = 1 to M, where
