This paper presents an overview of the singular boundary method (SBM) and its various
engineering applications. The basic concepts of the singular boundary method are first …

This paper applies a semi-analytical boundary collocation method, the singular boundary
method (SBM), in conjunction with the dual reciprocity method (DRM) and Laplace …

The sequential function specification method (SFSM) and the Levenberg-Marquardt method
(LM) are two typical methods for inverse heat conduction problems (IHCP). However, these …

A machine learning strategy based on the semi-analytical singular boundary method (SBM)
is presented for the thermal conductivity identification of functionally graded materials …

A direct and simultaneous estimation method of the main three dimensional thermal
diffusivity tensor (ax, ay, az) of orthotropic opaque materials, is presented in this paper. This …

In this study, the method of fundamental solutions (MFS), which is a boundary-type meshfree
method, is applied for solving two-dimensional stationary anisotropic thermoelastic …

This paper aims to noninvasively estimate the sizes and locations of tumors via the surface
temperature in the skin tissue. The famous 2D Pennes bioheat transfer equation is used to …

A methodology for non-destructive, accelerated inverse estimation of spatially varying
material properties using only boundary measurements is presented. The spatial distribution …

Fast, accurate and reliable identification and sorting of materials is still a challenge in
recycling sector. Scrap metals are often classified through density and colour, which cause …

In this paper, a method for the identification of distributed-parameter systems is proposed,
based on finite-difference discretization on a grid in space and time. The method is suitable …
