Abstract
This paper presents the current characteristics inside a cutoff cavity slot probe applied to crack detection using the forced resonance microwave method (FRMM). Crack detection using FRMM has two stages: preparation and detection. In the preparation stage, the current characteristics inside the probe with a shorting plate are important for determining the crack signal and detection sensitivity. The cutoff cavity probe produces a forced resonance by adjusting a control element. There are two kinds of forced resonance: series resonance (SR) and parallel resonance (PR). Four types of current characteristics are applied to crack detection using FRMM: SR, the region around SR, the region around PR, and non-resonance. These current characteristics are discussed from the point of view of current change for crack detection. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical results to check the current state inside the cutoff cavity probe.
