Advances in developing multiscale flaw models for eddy-current NDE

The need to accurately model multiscale phenomena is ubiquitous in eddy-current nondestructive evaluation. By using volume-integral equations, we are able to develop a very simple algorithm for accurately computing the response of a very small anomaly in the presence of a much larger one. We validate the algorithm and its associated code in VIC-3D (c) through benchmark data on two test sets: (1) a notch at a bolt hole with an upper surface coil, and (2) a notch in a bolt hole with a plate surface coil.
