K. 0021-8979 1089-7550 AIP Publishing General Physics and Astronomy http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.358454 <jats:p>A method for crack size determination using eddy-current nondestructive evaluation is presented for the case of a plate containing an infinitely long crack of uniform depth and uniform crack opening. The approach is based on the approximate solution to Maxwell’s equations for nonmagnetic conductors in the limit of small skin depth and relies on least-squares polynomial fits to a normalized coil impedance function as a function of skin depth. The method is straightforward to implement and is relatively insensitive to both systematic and random errors. The procedure requires the computation of two functions: a normalizing function, which depends both on the coil parameters and the skin depth, and a crack-depth function which depends only on the coil parameters in addition to the crack depth. The practical performance of the method was tested using a set of simulated cracks in the form of electro-discharge machined slots in aluminum alloy plates.
