Total Solution for Engineering Systems:
A New Concept
During the past decades, the authors often encountered engineering problems
with insufficient input and/or output information. A systematic approach is
required to deal with this type of problem effectively. A concept of total
solution recently suggested by Liu et al. (2001c) for engineering mechanics
problems is introduced in this chapter. The total solution aims to establish a
systematic approach to provide a comprehensive solution for complex engi-
neering problems, especially for traditional forward problems with incom-
plete input information (load, material property, boundary condition) and
inverse problems with insufficient observations (displacement, acceleration,
stress, etc.). The approach for obtaining a total solution is to formulate such
an engineering problem as a parameter identification problem based on the
forward solver of the problem. All the unknown parameterized information
in this forward model is determined through an iterative procedure of con-
ducting alternately forward and inverse (or mixed) analyses.
14.1 Introduction
In order to describe the real engineering mechanics problem clearly, the
general Equation 2.71 is modified slightly to the following expression (see
Figure 14.1):
Y = H(X, P, C) (14.1)
P C
Y=H(X,P,C) Y
P C
Y=H(X,P,C) Y
P C
H ( X, P, C, )

Y=H(X,P,C) Y
FIGURE 14.1
Schematic illustration of engineering problems that need a total solution. Y = {y1, y2,…, ym} is a
vector of output parameters or a vector of model-related coefficients representing the effects;
X = {x1, x2,…,xn} is a vector of input parameters representing the external causes; P = {p1, p2,…,pr}
is a vector of material property parameters; C = {c1, c2,…,ck} is a vector of parameterized
boundary conditions. P and C may depend on X for nonlinear problems but are constant in a
linear problem. H(X, P, C) is a system transformation matrix representing the translation process
from input to output.
approach is based on the assumption that a forward solver for the problem
is always available. Sets of system parameters xi (i = 1,…,n), yi (i = 1,…,m),
pi (i = 1,…,r), and ci (i = 1,…,k) are then selected and investigated to provide
as much known information as possible. After that, an iterative procedure
of conducting alternately forward and inverse (or mixed) analyses is imple-
mented. All the unknown parameters in the vectors X, Y, P, and C are then
determined when the iterative process converges.
In this solution procedure, forward analysis is conducted using the corre-
sponding forward solver, while inverse (or mixed) analysis is performed
using the sensitivity matrix-based method or the progressive NN method
developed. The parameters sought may be parts of X, Y, P, and C; thus the
obtained solution is termed a total solution. With the use of this new concept,
it is no longer necessary to artificially assume the unknown information in
vectors X, Y, P, and C when solving forward or inverse problems with
incomplete information. The general treatment of inverse problems is also
greatly improved because of the incorporation of forward solution procedure
that can directly identify the correctness of a trial solution and rapidly correct
the iterative direction in solution procedure. Numerical examples have been
presented to demonstrate the feasibility and the validity of this approach as
well as the implementation of these techniques.
The approach towards a total solution of engineering problems is primarily
motivated from the following findings:

left-hand-side of Equation 14.5 and denoted as new vector Y , while all the
unknown parts are moved to the right-hand-side and denoted as new vector
Q . Equation 14.5 is thus transferred as:

That means that when the ith row is considered, the kth unknown, qk , is

A little bit different from ART and MART, SIRT delays the correction of

D1 = Et13 / 12(1 − ν 2 ) t = t2 / t1 (14.16)
The objective of vibration analysis for this problem is to calculate the first
six natural frequencies ω i (i = 1,…,6). It is clear that if parameters t , ν, K ,
and Φ can be completely provided, this solution is easily obtained by using
the differential quadrature method (DQM) reported by Wu and Liu (2000).
For testing the approach and the corresponding inverse problem algorithms,
it is intentionally assumed that the spring constants K and Φ are unknown.
This case is most likely to happen in real situations; it is clear that the problem
would be very difficult to solve using conventional solving techniques such
as the DQM because necessary boundary conditions are lacking.
According to the approach towards a total solution, this problem is first
treated as a mixed problem, where the first three frequencies,
ω m (m = 1, 2, 3) , are assumed to be experimentally obtainable. The param-
eter vectors for this problem are thus set up as Q = {Q1, Q2}, Q1 = { K , Φ },
Q2 = { t , ν}, Y = {Y1, Y2}, Y1 = { ω 4 , ω 5 , ω 6 }, and Y2 = { ω 1 , ω 2 , ω 3 }. DQM
is used as the forward solver.
In this numerical experiment, the actual values of parameters t , ν, K ,
and Φ are 1.5, 0.3, 16, and 4, respectively. The first six frequencies,
ω m (m = 1, , 6) , corresponding to this set of physical parameters are cal-
culated to be 4.6, 17.1, 50.8, 113.3, 196.4, and 302.7, respectively, from the
forward solver DQM. This study would demonstrate how the parameters
ω 4 , ω 5 , ω 6 , K , and Φ are solved from the known t , ν, ω 1 , ω 2 , and
ω 3 based on the concept of total solution. The SMM and the NN methods
are used to this end.

It is intentionally assumed that E1, E2 and x2, θ2, θ3 are unknown, but the
transnational displacements at node 3 (i.e., x3 and y3) and the section areas
of the beam (i.e., A1 and A2) are experimentally obtained. In this case, iden-
tification of the material properties E1 and E2 would be very difficult using
conventional inverse problem algorithms based only on the known output
x3 and y3. However, the approach towards a total solution is available for
this problem. It is able to make use of the other know information of A1, A2.
As in the previous example, the SMM and the NN methods are used.
