Material Thickness Classification Using Scattering Parameters, Dielectric Constants, and Machine Learning

Wall-thinning in building structures due to corrosion and surface erosion occurs due to the severe operating conditions and the changing of the surrounding environment, or it can result from poor workmanship and a lack of systematic monitoring during construction. Hence, the continuous monitoring of...

description Wall-thinning in building structures due to corrosion and surface erosion occurs due to the severe operating conditions and the changing of the surrounding environment, or it can result from poor workmanship and a lack of systematic monitoring during construction. Hence, the continuous monitoring of structures plays an important role in decreasing unexpected accidents. In this paper, a novel method based on the deep neural network and support vector machine approaches is investigated to build up a thickness classification model by incorporating different input features, including the dielectric constants of the material under test, which are extracted from the scattering parameters proceeded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology iterative method.

While the deep neural network is the better solution with a large amount of data, the support vector machine is the more appropriate solution when employing small dataset. It can be stated that the proposed method is able to support systematic monitoring as it can help to improve the accuracy of the prediction of material thickness.
