Resumen:
The non-destructive evaluation of multilayer systems by means of ultrasonic transmission is the matter of this article. We approach the determination of the material properties solving an inverse problem, for a composed material made out of thin layers. For the direct problem, the propagation of a plane wave inside the material as well as the transducers are modeled using equivalent electric circuits, thus reducing the computational time for numerical calculations. The identification of the parameters involved in the model, characteristic acoustic impedances and transit times, related to the layers densities and propagation velocities, may be formulated as a non linear parameter estimation problem. The minimization of a least squares objective function was successfully performed and the estimated parameters gave useful information for the mechanical characterization of the sample.
