Abstract

A thin prolate spheroidal void in an infinite conducting circular cylinder is used to model a broken strand in a wire rope. The rope is excited by an azimuthal magnetic line current which is a model for a thin toroidal coil. The anomalous external fields are computed from the induced electric and magnetic dipole moments of the void. The results have applications to nondestructive testing of wire ropes.
