This paper presents a two stage FE model for prediction of magnetic flux leakage, resulting from mechanical damage. In the first stage the stress distribution associated with mechanical damage is obtained from a structural model. In the second stage the stress distribution is incorporated into a magnetic FE model, by mapping stress levels to permeability. MFL signals are calculated and compared with experimental gouge MFL signatures.
