Nonlinear Integral Formulation and Neural Network-Based Solution for Reconstruction of Deep Defects With Pulse Eddy Currents

A method for reconstruction of defects buried deep under material surface of conductive nonlinear materials is proposed. Defects are approximated as zero thickness. Simulation of pulse eddy currents is done using an integral FEM method, with a polarization method with over-relaxation to speed up the nonlinear iterations, and a neural network method is used for the reconstruction of defects shape from the simulated signals.
