Abstract
A significant body of knowledge exists on inverse problems and extensive research has been conducted on data-driven design in the past decade. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art methods and practice reported in the literature dealing with many different aspects of data-informed inverse design. By reviewing the origins and common practice of inverse problems in engineering design, the paper presents a closed-loop decision framework of product usage data-informed inverse design. Specifically reviewed areas of focus include data-informed inverse requirement analysis by user generated content, data-informed inverse conceptual design for product innovation, data-informed inverse embodiment design for product families and product platforming, data-informed inverse analysis and optimization in detailed design, along with prevailing techniques for product usage data collection and analytics. The paper also discusses the challenges of data-informed inverse design and the prospects for future research.
