My. Antimirov et al., APPLICATION OF A PERTURBATION METHOD TO THE SOLUTION OF EDDY-CURRENT TESTING PROBLEMS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(3), 1994, pp. 1247-1252
This paper presents an analytical solution for the change of the imped
ance of a double conductor line due to eddy currents induced in presen
ce of an infinitely long horizontal cylindrical flaw with vertically s
ymmetric cross-section. The solution, found by a perturbation method,
is applicable in the case' the conductivities of the flaw and of the s
urrounding material do not differ by much. Numerical results for flaws
of circular and elliptic cross-sections are presented.
