“…To model asymmetrical transducer operation, Bessner and Sablick [2] have determined the electric field inside a half-space conductor for an external current source of an arbitrary shape. Subsequent developments have permitted the modelling of the response of eddy current transducers with various shapes, even in the presence of material discontinuities [3,4].…”
The present work approaches the problem of determining, by analytical solutions, the electromagnetic field created by an arbitrary distribution of alternating currents placed outside an infinitely long non-magnetic conductive cylinder. Making use of the dyadic Green function method, the electromagnetic field outside the cylinder is expressed as the sum of the field in free space and the field created by the currents induced in the conductive cylinder. The general results we obtained are particularized for the analytical solutions describing the operation of an eddy current transducer with rotating magnetic field for the case of a conductive cylinder non-coaxial with the current source.

“…The theory of circular eddy current probe interactions with long surface cracks in ferromagnetic steel was developed by Harfield and Bowler [87,88]. In this work, the thin-skin approximation was used and the crack was assumed to be infinite long.…”

To my wife Yuhan Tang, Without whose supports and patience, I would not have been able to complete this work, And to my parents, Qifu Wu and Shuilian Fang, Who brought me up and had sacrificed a lot to get me a good education.iii
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.
