Non destructive testing (NDT) has been used to ensure safety in public structure and public space. D.C. potential difference method, one of the NDT, can detect crack in conductive material. According to study for material, depth of crack in metal is most important parameter to judge if the crack will lead catastrophic failure in short time. Therefore estimation of crack depth by measured voltage on surface is key process in the method. However, as authors as know, exact solution of model equation for the method that is Laplace equation with prescribed boundary condition and crack has not been known so far. In this paper we show exact expression of solution and computational results for model problem described in two space dimensional lower half-space with crack vertically propagating from the surface. |
