Transient eddy current (TEC) technique is being developed for detection of flaws located at depth within multilayer aluminum structures. The present work involves finite element modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics software to simulate different types of probes by changing some of these parameters in an attempt to generate an output signal of optimum magnitude and shape. Some of the model results are compared with experimental results from an identical probe configuration and there is, in general, a good agreement. The modeling has also contributed towards understanding of the TEC phenomenon.
