Abstract

The alternating magnetic flux leakage testing is used for the detection of cracks in a steel plate. A new technique of how to detect plural cracks, which are located at a very short distance from each other, using the parallel (x-) component of the leakage flux density is proposed. The behavior of leakage flux is examined using a three-dimensional edge-based hexahedral finite-element method. The effects of dimensions of search coils and cracks on the detection accuracy are illustrated.
