ABSTRACT

The European project SIMPOSIUM(standing for Simulation Platform for Non Destructive Evaluation of Structures and Materials) aims at providing, in a single software platform, numerical models specifically designed to respond to manufacturer’s applications, with respect to nondestructive testing and material characterization techniques. This communication presents the results obtained with two different simulation methods in the case of an eddy current inspection of metallic structures with bore holes, using a rotating differential probe with ferrite cores.

Keywords: Borehole inspection, Eddy current testing, Rotating probe, Simulation.
