How can a form be cleared or reset of input after the form has been submitted.

This is to prevent the user from using the PREVIOUS button to go back and re-submit the form.
 
the 'previous' button is part of the user experience.
why don't you want the user re-submitting the form after clicking the previous button? I believe the answer to this question will determine how to deter a user from re-submitting the form.

Instead of trying to disable the previous button's functionality, perhaps you should add some code to detect whether the information has been submitted at a prior time before inserting a new record with the form's data
