“…Several previous works have dealt with inverse geometry problems (Bénard and Afshari, 1992;Kang and Zabaras, 1995;Nowak et al, 2000;Tanaka et al, 2000;Zabaras, 1990;Zabaras and Ruan, 1989). In particular, Zabaras and Ruan (1989) developed a formulation based on a deforming finite element method (FEM) and sensitivity coefficients to analyze one-dimensional inverse Stefan problems.…”
