The Advanced Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Sensor Modeling for Multisite Inspection program has developed finite element models (FEM) of electromagnetic NDE for optimizing the inspection of aging aircraft structure. The program found excellent correlation between magnetic field strengths predicted by FEM analysis and experimental values in fastened airframe structure configurations. Applying the FEM analysis to magnetoresistive (MR) sensors inspection problems then provided useful insights into the many parameter effects associated with ...
