In this paper a new version of eddy current differential transducer is proposed for evaluation of INCONEL thin plates in order to detect shallow hidden flaws. A 3D-finite element software package was used to analyse various configurations of the excitation coils and select optimal design. A set of experiments was carried out in order to prove usability of the transducer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
