Book Description

"...practical and readable…Thanks to a presentation which permits easy generalization, this work, destined especially for student engineers, should be a practical guide for all those who are interested in the undertaking and utilization of inversion techniques not only for heat transfer problems... but also of other domains such as seismic treatment [and] mechanics."

"The book is intended for the practitioner and detailed mathematical proofs are not given. It succeeds very well in this role... recommended to those who need a broad ranging and practical introduction to methods of dealing with inverse thermal problems."

 

A comprehensive review of efficient and well-established methods for solving inverse thermal problems. Topics covered include boundary value problems of heat transfer, numerical methods of solving heat transfer processes, function specification method, combined techniques, and stochastic and system identification methods.
