Overview
- Includes worked examples, practice examples and assignments
- Clearly explains the fundamental concepts upon which eddy current nondestructive evaluation is based
- Fills the void between physics textbooks and the handbooks and users manuals more geared toward eddy current practitioners

About this book
The chapters include material on signals obtained using many common eddy current probe types in various testing environments. Introductory mathematical and physical concepts in electromagnetism are introduced in sufficient detail and summarized in the Appendices for easy reference. Worked examples and simple calculations that can be done by hand are distributed throughout the text. These and more complex end-of-chapter examples and assignments are designed to impart a working knowledge of the connection between electromagnetic theory and the practical measurements described.
The book is intended to equipreaders with sufficient knowledge to optimize routine eddy current NDE inspections, or design new ones. It is useful for graduate engineers and scientists seeking a deeper understanding of electromagnetic methods of NDE than can be found in a guide for practitioners.

About the author
Nicola’s research interests include nondestructive evaluation and materials characterization using eddy-current, four-point probe, capacitive and microwave sensors, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy applied, variously, to structural steels, metal powder, electrical insulation polymers and polymer-based composites. Nicola enjoys teaching courses in electronic properties of materials and eddy current nondestructive evaluation to senior undergraduates and graduate research students in engineering, for whom she hopes that this book will be helpful. She credits the late R. Bruce Thompson for supporting the writing of this book in its early stages, and her husband John R. Bowler for helping to envision it.
