“…A differential double-D probe using two Hall devices has been investigated by Park, et al [13] which shows a potential for detection and sizing of sub-surface cracks in stainless-steel structures. Differential probes have also been studied for crack detection near a fastener in aircraft structures [14], [15].…”

Pulsed eddy current (PEC) non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) has been around for some time and it is still attracting extensive attention from researchers around the globe, which can be witnessed through the reports reviewed in this paper. Thanks to its richness of spectral components, various applications of this technique have been proposed and reported in the literature covering both structural integrity inspection and material characterization in various industrial sectors. To support its development and for better understanding of the phenomena around the transient induced eddy currents, attempts for its modelling both analytically and numerically have been made by researchers around the world. This review is an attempt to capture the state-of-the-art development and applications of PEC, especially in the last 15 years and it is not intended to be exhaustive. Future challenges and opportunities for PEC NDT&E are also presented.

“…The use of PEC and a specific probe design was performed for detection of defects near rivets [54]. He et al [89] employed the two-stage differential coil probe to detect defects between third layer and fourth layer in riveted structures and Underhill and Krause [2] used a multiple frequencies probe for defect detection around bolt holes of aircraft lap joints.…”

Eddy current testing is widely used for nondestructive evaluation of metallic structures in characterizing numerous types of defects occurring in various locations. It offers remarkable advantages over other nondestructive techniques because of its ease of implementation. This paper presents a technical review of Eddy current technique in various scope of defect detection. The first part presents Eddy current evaluation on various defects location and orientation such as steam generator tubes, stress crack corrosion, and fatigue cracks. The next section analyzes the use of pulsed Eddy current and pulsed Eddy current thermography as an alternative method for monitoring the growth of cracks with the aid of computational techniques for postsignal analysis.

“…Hughes found changes in the properties of a coil when it approached metals with different electric conductivities and magnetic permeabilities. The usage of eddy current testing techniques has significantly increased since the 1950s in the aeronautical [3,4] and nuclear [5,6] industries, among others. In recent years, state-of-the-art electronic components and processors have been applied to build eddy current instrumentation [7][8][9].…”

This article proposes a Radial Basis Function Artificial Neural Network (RBF-ANN) to classify tempered steel cams as correctly or incorrectly treated pieces by using multi-frequency nondestructive eddy current testing. Impedances at five frequencies between 10 kHz and 300 kHz were employed to perform the binary sorting. The ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA) test was employed to check the significance of the differences between the impedance samples for the two classification groups. Afterwards, eleven classifiers were implemented and compared with one RBF-ANN classifier: ten linear discriminant analysis classifiers and one Euclidean distance classifier. When employing the proposed RBF-ANN, the best performance was achieved with a precision of 95% and an area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.98. The obtained results suggest RBF-ANN classifiers processing multi-frequency impedance data could be employed to classify tempered steel DIN 100Cr6 cams with a better performance than other classical classifiers.
