S. Nath et al., STUDS OF THE NEW EDDY-CURRENT NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING SENSOR ON FERROMAGNETIC MATERIALS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 30(6), 1994, pp. 4644-4646
A new eddy current non-destructive testing (NDT) sensor developed at N
ASA Langley Research Center can accurately detect fatigue cracks and m
easure material and non-conducting coating thicknesses. This paper pre
sents experimental and finite element modeling data on the characteris
tics of the sensor on ferromagnetic materials Fatigue crack detection
and lift-off characteristics in steel and aluminum are compared and di
scussed.
