Abstract An introduction to the application of surface integral equation methods to the calculation of eddy current-flaw interactions is presented. Two two-dimensional problems are presented which are solved by the boundary integral equation method. Application of collocation methods reduces the problems to systems of linear algebraic equations. The first problem is that of a closed surface crack in a flat slab with an AC magnetic field parallel to the plane of the crack. The second is that of av-groove crack in the AC field of a pair of parallel wires placed parallel to the vertex of the crack. In both cases, maps of the current densities at the surface are displayed, as well as the impedance changes due to the cracks.
