Dimension Estimation of Rectangular Cracks Using Impedance Changes of Eddy Current Probe with Neural Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eddy current (EC) nondestructive testing (NDT) based on probe impedance changes in the crack regions is considered in this paper. For this a numerical simulation is introduced for the development of the EC-NDT system using 3D finite element software. This model is used to simulate the rectangular cracks with various dimension and prepares the data required for artificial neural network. The neural network estimates dimension of new cracks using impedance changes of eddy current probe.

Eddy-current probe impedance due to a volumetric flaw
Eddy current induced in a metal by a coil carrying an alternating current may be perturbed by the presence of any macroscopic defects in the material, such as cracks, surface indentations, or inclusions. In eddy-current nondestructive evaluation, defects are commonly sensed by a change of the coil impedance resulting from perturbations in the electromagnetic field. This paper describes theoreti...
متن کاملEddy-current interaction with an ideal crack. I. The forward problem
The impedance of an eddy-current probe changes when the current it induces in an electrical conductor is perturbed by a flaw such as a crack. In predicting the probe signals, it is expedient to introduce idealizations about the nature of the flaw. Eddy-current interaction is considered with an ideal crack having a negligible opening and acting as a impenetrable barrier to electric current. The ...
