The inspection of materials used in aerospace is a critical issue for the safety. The industry claims for faster, more sensitive, more flexible and reliable nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for the detection and characterization of potential flaws nearby rivet. For heavy carrier such as the AIRBUS A380, the panel assembly gets thicker and requires more sensitive NDT tools for the detection of potential flaws deeply embedded into the fastened structure. Eddy current (EC) is currently the operational tool for the inspection of rivet assembly. In order to reduce the development time and to optimise the design and the performances assessment of an inspection procedure, the CEA and EADS have started a collaborative work aimed to extend the modeling features of the CIVA non destructive simulation plate-form to the case of rivet structure inspection. This contribution presents the recent progresses in developing models which have the capability to predict quickly the signal of an eddy current probe used in NDT. Simulations and experimental data of the response of eddy current probes to a fastener hole in a multi-layered slab are presented.
