Our goal is to identify sheet steel magnetization with near field measurements. Indeed, direct calculation of the whole magnetization is impossible because the remanent part of the magnetization is nondeterminist. Consequently, our strategy is to obtain a magnetostatic formulation able to compute magnetic field as close as possible to the sheet and which is adapted to solve an inverse problem. In this paper, a scalar potential integral formulation is introduced and compared to a magnetization formulation. We are especially interested in the magnetic anomaly created by ferromagnetic ships.Index Terms-Inverse problem, magnetization identification, scalar magnetic potential, thin magnetic sheet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
