نبذة مختصرة : Crack orientation is a vital factor in the behavioral study of fractures, especially the study of crack propagation in structures that are under dynamic or fatigue loading. Indeed, many non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques have been developed recently for the detection of cracks such as the eddy current testing (ECT). However, the crack orientation has not been undertaken into consideration. In this paper, a NDT based on eddy current using 3D finite element modeling, is proposed for the determination of the crack orientation. The idea of this proposed technique benefits from the influences of crack orientation, which can be observed on the components of eddy current and the related magnetic flux density following the x, y axes, for the estimation of the crack angle orientation based on an interpolation criteria. The obtained results through the presented simulation prove the validity of the proposed technique for the detection of crack angle orientation.
