The study have applied the use of a copper core as a novel approach to develop eddy current testing probe although ferrite or iron core coils are usually used for this purpose. The probe consists of a specially designed copper core, and a strong excitation current was converged at the tip of the copper core for probes to have good the detectability of flaws. The article is now indicated on the most downloaded artilces of NDT &E international in thte link.

We previously proposed a statistical risk analysis method for accidents at industrial facilities
by using a risk curve to show the relationship between the cumulative frequencies and
the damage magnitude of the accidents on a log-log scale.
