ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM IN THE SOLUTION OF SELECTED INVERSE PROBLEM OF THE BINARY ALLOY SOLIDIFICATION

Abstract

The paper presents a procedure for reconstructing, on the basis of known measurements of temperature, the heat transfer coefficient and the distribution of temperature in given region of solidifying binary alloy in the casting mould. Solution of the considered inverse problem is found by applying the finite element method for solving the corresponding direct problem and the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm for minimizing the functional representing the error of approximate solution.
