Abstract: In this work we will present some remarks about the numerical analysis of non destructive testing for thin cracks detection in metallic plates. In particular this paper show the solution of a coupled electrical circuit – magnetic field problem using a finite element approximation scheme. This procedure is used in order to increase the sensibility of detector system. A comparison between experimental and numerical results is also presented.
