Abstract
Nondestructive inspection of flat and long cylindrical metallic-surface layers is conveniently dealt with using the results of wave propagations in a one-dimensionally stratified medium. Analytical solutions for some special profiles are obtained, and perturbation technique is used to obtain results for more frequently encountered profiles.
