Abstract
This paper describes a nonlinear inverse method which allows the determinat ion of the second- and third-order elastic constants for a caesium dihydrog en phosphate lattice via ultrasonic velocity measurements. This analysis is based on a genetic algorithm. The efficiency and accuracy of the method an d the influence of measurement errors are discussed.
