In this work, a parametric study is carried out on carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) materials to investigate how the spatially varying fiber distribution influences the measured signal in an eddy current testing (ECT) configuration. The measurement setup was modeled using finite element method, while the fiber distribution is taken into account by an inhomogeneous anisotropic conductivity tensor. The study revealed a trade-off relation between the size of the ECT coil and the maximal dynamic range of the ECT signal, which contributes to the understanding of the connection between the fiber arrangement and the ECT signal and provides an opportunity for optimal ECT coil design.
