Quantitative Measurement of Crack Parameters Using Microwave Eddy-Current Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
The objectives of this work were to develop an electromagnetic scattering model that can be used to predict the microwave scattering from a crack in a metallic surface, and to evaluate the potential of using microwave scattering measurements to determine the dimensions of the crack. The .initial approach to this problem has been to model the surface crack as a section of rectangular waveguide shorted at one end. Theoretical and experimental results are presented for this case, and the potential for obtaining a quantitative evaluation of the crack dimensions is discussed.

A new approach to microwave eddy current testing for surface cracks in metals involves the use of ferromagnetic resonance in a small garnet crystal placed close to the surface to be tested. It is well known in this case that the induced eddy currents on the metal surface cause a strong displacement of the ferromagnetic resonance frequency. The presence of a crack on the surface produces, by dis...
