Description
By using dyadic Green’s functions the electromagnetic field in an unflawed conducting half-space can be found for a general alternating current source distribution. A crack in the conductor gives rise to a secondary source which may be represented as a surface distribution of current dipoles. An integral equation for the secondary source distribution is derived and the dipole density evaluated numerically for a rectangular subsurface crack.
