Characterization of surface-breaking cracks in metal sheets by using AC electric fields

A surface-breaking crack in a metal sheet may be detected by passing an alternating current through the sheet and making measurements of the potential difference on the sheet's surface. The distribution of potential on the metal surface depends on the exact geometry of the crack and the aim of...
