A crack identification microwave procedure based on a genetic algorithm for nondestructive testing.

A crack identification microwave procedure based on a genetic algorithm for nondestructive testing.

This paper is aimed at exploring the possibility of using a microwave approach based on a genetic algorithm to detect a defect inside a known host object. Starting from the knowledge of the scattered field, the problem solution is recast as a two-step procedure. After defining a cost function depend...
