Reduction of lift-off effects for pulsed eddy current NDT

The lift-off effect is commonly known to be one of the main obstacles for effective eddy current {NDT} testing as it can easily mask defect signals. Pulsed eddy current techniques, which are believed to be potentially rich of information, are also sensitive to the effect. An approach using normalisa...
