A theoretical and numerical model is developed for the computation of Eddy Current (EC) signals provided by a differential type probe used for tubing inspection. The main application of interest is to make simulated experiments for studying the perturbations affecting the EC signal such as the variations of the eccentricity and the probe wobble. 3D flaws are introduced by a variation in the local distribution of the conductivity. The forward problem is handled by using a dyadic Green's function approach. Typical impedance plane trajectories obtained with a differential probe are given.
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.
