VI. CONCLUSION

An iterative method has been proposed to estimate the width and location of strips. The method is based on a binary LSF combined with a GA. The numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Although the binary LSF᎐GA method proposed here is applicable to two-dimensional metallic objects of arbitrary cross section, in order to accelerate the convergence rate, it is desirable to improve the GA used here to be suitable for the 2-D objects. This is a topic for future study.
