Abstract
Feasibility of the proposed electric-potential CT method for the quantitative measurement of three-dimensional surface cracks was studied. Observed electric-potential data were computer-processed to reconstruct cracks using a hierarchical inverse analysis scheme, in which crack location, shape and size were determined by two-dimensional scanning analyses followed by three-dimensional inverse analyses. Numerical simulations were made for identifying a semi-circular surface crack in a body. A satisfactory determination of the crack location, shape and size of a semi-circular crack was made by this inverse analysis scheme, demonstrating the usefulness of the electric potential CT method.
