Problem of crack detection has attracted the attention of several investigators in the areas like defense, aeronautics, and marine industries. In this paper we suggest fuzzy logic approach for detection of cracks and also deciding about the severity of the crack. The data obtained from data acquisition system is processed and results presented by using various software. Fuzzy rules are developed to determine the severity of the crack and a light controller used to indicate the severity of the crack. The simplicity of the approach makes it very useful in many fields.
