Abstract

The methods used in inverse diffraction problems and applied to the problem of reconstructing flaws of complex shapes using ultrasonic scanning are reviewed. The application of the theoretical methods developed by the authors is described in more detail. The accuracy in reconstruction of flaws on the basis of a new proposed method is tested.
