Computational Electromagnetics and Model-Based Inversion: A Modern Paradigm for Eddy-Current Nondestructive EvaluationAbstract
This is the first of a planned series of papers in which we demonstrate the application of computational electromagnetics, especially the volume-integral method, to problems in eddycurrent nondestructive evaluation (NDE). In particular, we will apply the volume-integral code, VIC-3D, to solve forward and inverse problems in NDE. The range of problems that will be considered spans industries from nuclear power to aerospace to materials characterization. In this paper we will introduce the notion of model-based inversion, emphasizing the role of `estimationtheoretic metrics' to the practical application of inverse theory.
