description This study discusses a nonlinear electrical impedance tomography (EIT) technique under different analysis conditions to propose its optimal implementation parameters. The forward problem for calculating electric potential is defined by the complete electrode model. The inverse problem for reconstructing the target electrical conductivity profile is presented based on a partial-differential-equation-constrained optimization approach. The electrical conductivity profile is iteratively updated by solving the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker optimality conditions and using the conjugate gradient method with an inexact line search. Various analysis conditions such as regularization scheme, number of electrodes, current input patterns, and electrode arrangement were set differently, and the corresponding results were compared. It was found from this study that the proposed EIT method yielded appropriate inversion results with various parameter settings, and the optimal implementation parameters of the EIT method are presented. This study is expected to expand the utility and applicability of EIT for the non-destructive evaluation of structures.
