Abstract
This paper presents a technique for improving the accuracy of non-destructive evaluation using magnetic flux leakage. Response function that associates magnetic dipoles and magnetic flux densities in terms of geometrical coordinate is modified so as to capture the average magnetic flux value along the sensor length, that is consistent with experimentally measured magnetic flux. Inverse analysis of a semi-elliptical surface defect is conducted through numerical simulation. By using the modified response function, the restored defect shape becomes more proper and remarkable improvements are indicated, especially in low lift-off cases.
