Solutions, Analysis, and
Innovation are the key-words that define Victor Technologies, LLC (VTL), a company that was formed
in 1998 to further develop and market
VIC-3D®a unique software product for eddy-current
nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The
VTL senior staff has an extensive background in engineering
analysis and computer modeling, and in recent years has done some very innovative work in signal-processing and modeling in the field of NDE
using eddy-current technology.
The heart of VTL's technology is its eddy-current analysis software, VIC-3D®. This software
is based on Harold Sabbagh's research into computational electromagnetics and computational inversion algorithms, for which he was recently
elected to the grade of FELLOW of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society. This effort has been supported by the Departments of
Defense and Energy, and the National Science Foundation through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, and by commercial sources,
including General Electric, Hercules Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, United Technologies Research Center, and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
VIC-3D® is being sold worldwide as a research and commercial modeling tool to help laboratories
and industry design probes and understand probe signals, to replace calibration standards for characterizing flaws, and to characterize materials.
