Abstract
In this paper, a new approach is proposed for nondestructive size determination of immersed and embedded cylindrical rods by inversion of acoustic scattering data. The normal mode expansion technique is used for modelling the scattered field. Also, the experimental backscattered field is measured using short pulse MIIR technique. The Genetic algorithm is the inversion technique used for measuring the diameters of the rods. The inversion technique matches the modelled and experimental scattered fields at resonance points, so the diameters of the rods can be estimated. The numerical results indicate that proper selection of resonance frequencies leads to accurate measurement of diameter. The proposed approach showed very good convergence and the results obtained were found to agree very well with available data.
