Abstract

The aim of the electromagnetic non-destructive testing is the determination of structural defects in conductive materials by excitation of eddy-currents using an external alternating magnetic field and measuring a secondary field produced by these currents. For a reliable control of defects in a conductor it is necessary to find out how a certain form of defect distorts the primary magnetic field. For this purpose, we use the method of approximate calculation of the distribution of magnetic fields arising at eddy-currents flow around defects of a conductor. We consider the approximation when the thickness of a skin layer is much greater than the sizes of the defect. In this case the problem of determining the scattering fields splits into two independent stages. Initially the distribution of currents in the vicinity of the defect is determined. This stage is reduced to the Neumann problem for the Laplace equation. At the second stage the restore of the magnetic field using the found currents is performed. In the framework of the method two problems were resolved: we obtained the distributions of the magnetic field at current flow around surface defects in the form of a hemisphere and half of an oblate spheroid.
