Embodiment Construction
[0016]As discussed in detail below, embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for inspection of parts with complex geometries. As used herein, the term “inspection” includes inspection for detecting flaws in a complex surface and a sub-surface region of the parts such as, but not limited to, internal cracks, external cracks and pits. A non-limiting example of the part includes an airfoil (turbine blade) in an aircraft engine. It should be appreciated that the methods and apparatus can be applied to a wide variety of components used within an aircraft engine, a steam turbine, a nuclear power plant, an automotive engine, or to inspect any mechanical component.
[0017]FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a multi-dimensional array probe system 10 for inspecting a part 11 having a contoured surface 12. The system 10 includes a multi-dimensional array of eddy current sensors 13 disposed on a flexible grid 14. The multi-dimensional array of eddy current sensors 13 are...
