Stress Measurement Using Pulsed Eddy Current Thermography
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports a noncontact inspection method, using Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) stimulated thermography, for the evaluation of the anisotropic dependency of electrical conductivity of steel exposed to tensile stress. This method combines microscope lens based thermography with PEC using a rectangular excitation coil, giving directional excitation, to infer the electromagnetic properties variation in the longitudinal and transverse directions to a static uniaxially applied tensile stress. Theoretical analysis and details of the experimental set-up are presented. The relationship between excitation coil layout and applied stress, and the measured transient thermal images are discussed. Comparison of the results with previous work on PEC techniques for stress measurement is also discussed.

Evaluation of Heterogeneity of Paint Coating on Metal Substrate Using Laser Infrared Thermography and Eddy Current
Abstract—Non contact evaluation of the thickness of paint coatings can be attempted by different destructive and nondestructive methods such as cross-section microscopy, gravimetric mass measurement, magnetic gauges, Eddy current, ultrasound or terahertz. Infrared thermography is a nondestructive and non-invasive method that can be envisaged as a useful tool to measure the surface thickness var...

Pulsed eddy current (PEC) stimulated thermography is proposed as a powerful non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique, allowing the operator to observe the heating developed from the eddy current distribution in a structure using infrared imaging, detecting defects over a relatively wide area within a short time. Some defects (impact, delamination, disbond or crack) commonly occur in aerospace...

Eddy Current Pulsed Thermography with Different Excitation Configurations for Metallic Material and Defect Characterization
This paper reviews recent developments of eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) for material characterization and nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Due to the fact that line-coil-based ECPT, with the limitation of non-uniform heating and a restricted view, is not suitable for complex geometry structures evaluation, Helmholtz coils and ferrite-yoke-based excitation configurations of ECPT are pr...
