Abstract

The study of 3D eddy current non destructive testing system for cracks characterization using finite element method requires a great amount of computing time and memory space. In this article, we have validated the developed model and then determined directly the crack length by analyzing the complete signal. Afterwards, we have extracted from the complete sensor sweep signal the maximal amplitude that we have exploited to estimate the crack depth.
