In the framework of a collaborative project with EADS, a semi-analytical model based on a volume integral method has been developed to simulate eddy current (EC) inspection of riveted structures in aeronautics. The model handles a layered structure by considering a dyadic Green's approach where a fastener and a flaw are introduced as a variation of conductivity in a stack of slabs. Experimental data are used to validate the model.
