Notes:
Magnetic-optical film (hereafter, MO film) is a bismuth-doped iron garnet film grown on agadolinium gallium garnet substrate by liquid phase epitaxial method. Because an MO film hasphysical characteristics such as Faraday rotation and magnetic anisotropy, the distribution of itsexternal magnetic field can be visualized. The MOI (Magneto-Optic/Eddy Current Imager) wasdeveloped to detect far-side cracks and corrosions in aluminum alloy materials on an aircraft. Thedetection probability of 2.5mm-length cracks is 90/95% when the MO film and the induced areacurrent are used. However, the quantitative evaluation algorithm for quantifying crack shapes andsizes has yet to be proposed. This paper investigates a quantitative evaluation algorithm for magneticoptical eddy current imaging by using the finite element analysis methods (FEM) and experimentalresults. The MOI including a primary induction coil was simulated by FEM software. The position,depth, shape, and the induction current frequency, lift-off were simulated and examined. A simplifiedquantitative evaluation algorithm for MOI is proposed by using the analysis results
