Variation-of-Weight Method for Optimizing the Single and Group Diagnostics of Articles and Physical Media

Abstract

Based on a physical object having the property of generating mutually inverse signals when influenced by some external or internal action, the problem of optimized joint diagnostic measurements has been formulated and solved. The method of varying a weight coefficient has been proposed for determining physical quantities that characterize inspected articles and objects based on the extremum of the weighted scalar convolution of measured auxiliary parameters of these objects. In this case, it is assumed that the measured parameters are in a mutually inverse functional relationship with the physical quantity being determined. The aim of the studies also includes further extension of this method to a group of objects. A technique for implementing the method has been developed and a way to generalize it to include the case of the group diagnostics of objects is set forth.
