A Symbolic Monte Carlo method (SMC) is applied to the identification of radiative properties of a heterogeneous semitransparent insulating material from measurements of directional-hemispherical transmittance and reflectance at room temperature. The polynomials obtained with SMC allow the development of a complete inverse analysis which determines if the inverse problem solution exists, is unique and stable. Moreover, the numerical efficiency of the absorption and scattering coefficients identification is improved since the radiative transfer equation is only solved once in the overall inverse iterative procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
