Title: Mountable eddy current sensor for in-situ remote detection of surface and sub-surface fatigue cracks

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1027456

A wireless, integrated, mountable, portable, battery-operated, non-contact eddy current sensor that provides similar accuracy to 1970's laboratory scale equipment (e.g., a Hewlett-Packard GP4194A Impedance Analyzer) at a fraction of the size and cost.
