Uniform Field Eddy Current Probe: Experiments and Inversion for Realistic Flaws

摘要

Uniform field eddy current (UFEC) probes operate by interrogating flaws with a spatially uniform electromagnetic field. Their use in quantitative NDE is particularly attractive because theoretical models of the field-flaw interaction are greatly simplified by the assumption of a uniform field. This in turn leads to much simpler inversion protocols for determining flaw sizes from measurements.
