Abstract
In this review paper, the use of the Time Reversal (TR) method as a computational tool for solving some classes of inverse problems is surveyed. The basics of computational TR are explained, using the scalar wave equation as a simple model. The application of TR to various problems in acoustics and elastodynamics is reviewed, in a selective and biased way as it leans on the author's personal view, referring to representative articles published on the subject.
