Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONIn preparing this glossary of terms, an attempt has been made to avoid, where possible, vectoranalysis and differential equations so as
3、 to make the definitions more intelligible to the average workerin the field of magnetic testing. In some cases, rigorous treatment has been sacrificed to securesimplicity, but it is believed that none of the definitions will prove to be misleading.It is the intent of this glossary to be consistent
