Numerical and Experimental study on the application of the Self-Magnetic Flux Leakage method for monitoring fatigue cracks in Steel Structures

Fatigue crack monitoring is essential to Ship and Offshore structures, in order to guarantee structural integrity and safety on board. Regular inspections, which are currently performed manually are hazardous, costly and infrequent. The CrackGuard JIP has the goal of developing a system for reliable monitoring of fatigue cracks based on the...
