The benchmark problems in eddy-current nondestructive evaluation (EC-NDE) are based on careful measures of the change in coil impedance as a function of circular air cored coil position which is scanned along the axis of machined slot by electrodischarge in aluminum plate. Tow benchmark problems (TEAM workshop n° 15-1, and JSAEM n° 2-5) are presented to validate and verify ANSYS Maxwell 3D-resolution of defect size and shape using electromagnetic formulation. In order to provide a challenge for current theoretical models, slots of rectangular, elliptical, slope and triangular profiles are considered. The final impedance data can be directly used to verify theoretical inversion algorithms.
