Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a Modified Adaptive Cross Approximation (MACA) algorithm method to model an eddy current probe used as position sensor in Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE). Eddy current based position sensor can be used when optical aids cannot to guide the position of the coil. We use surface integral equation technique with selected Stratton-Chu formulation and apply MACA algorithm to accelerate the calculation of impedance change for the position sensor. Good performance of proposed method is demonstrated with numerical examples.
