  • Abstract
    In this paper a Multi-Frequency Excitation and Spectrogram Eddy Current System and an inverse neural model were used to detect and identify natural flaws in steam generator tubes. It is shown that the applied dynamic neural model of the ECT sensor offers very high speed of operation and guarantees reliability of the recognition results
