Abstract
The feasibility of the electric-potential CT method for the quantitative measurement of three-dimensional internal cracks was investigated. Observed data on electric-potential distribution were computer-processed to reconstruct the crack shape by using a hierarchical inverse-analysis scheme, in which the crack location, shape, and size were determined by two-dimensional scanning inverse analysis and a following three-dimensional inverse analysis. A numerical simulation was designed for measuring the location, shape, and size of an elliptical internal crack embedded in a body. The crack location, shape, and size determined by the electric-potential CT method agreed quite well with the actual values, demonstrating the usefulness of the method.
