Abstract

This paper describes numerical analysis of eddy current testing for tube with axi-symmetric defect using boundary element method. In this ECT(Eddy Current Testing) numerical analysis. BEM and FEM are used to compare their characteristics and results of ECT, respectively BEM is easier than FEM to design geometrically complex domain because in case of BEM, domain is divided into segments or elements, but in case of FEM, domain is divided into small finite triangular or quadrilateral elements. For this reason asymmetry defect is used for this BE numerical analysis. As a result, the similar result can be obtained through both numerical analyses, and BEM can be applied to the numerical analysis of ECT.
