Motivated by quantitative evaluation of aging properties of electrical cables, a computational method for identifying physical parameters of dielectric materials is considered. First, a nondestructive testing using micro-waveguide is described by electric and magnetic fields defined on the problem. Secondly, an inversion technique based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo method (MCMC) is employed for solving the electromagnetic interrogation treated here. Finally, a numerical scheme of the direct problem is developed using the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) in two spatial dimensions. Applying Metropolis-Hasting algorithm to the inversion presented here, results on computational experiments are demonstrated in order to show the feasibility and applicability of the proposed method.
