A computational method for thermal tomography by time dependent boundary integral equation method

  • Chapter
Estimation and Control of Distributed Parameter Systems

Abstract

This paper is concerned with a geometrical identification of corrosion shape in the thermal testing of materials. To estimate the corrosion shape of materials, we formulate a parameter estimation problem using temperature data from the front surface of materials. We propose a new estimation algorithm based on the time-dependent boundary integral equation method. Summaries of computational experiments by the proposed method are given.
