“…Compared with the conventional eddy current method, SQUID sensors offer high sensitivity at low excitation frequency and permit us to detect deeper flaws. The SQUID systems have widely been used to detect flaws in steel pipe [1], buried flaws in aluminum plate [2], the plastic deformation gradients in steel [3], and the recon-struction of the defect shapes [4] and the testing of the aging aircraft structures [5] etc.…”
