| Summary: | The eddy current testing can be used such as a perfect tool to characterize defects in conducting materials. However, in the latest years, an important progress was made in the development of software for the eddy current testing simulations. Evaluation of the NDT modeling tools is the principal goal of this study. Main concerns of the aeronautic industry and the potential contribution of modeling are discussed and illustrated. Simulation by finite element method is realized with the aim to calculate the electromagnetic energy of interaction between coil and tested part that enables to deduce the impedance response. The objective of this work is the development of a code for efficient resolution of an electromagnetic problem modeling, especially, for the analysis of probe response due to the eddy current process. The validation of developed code was made. The obtained results converge quickly towards the solution given by the (FEMM) code with an average error of 0.018 for real parts of impedance and 0.004 for imaginary parts. The presented results in this work serve to illustrate that the proposed method is practical and they are also of some intrinsic interest especially in the control of aluminum tubes used in aeronautics. |
