Evaluation of the Characteristics of a Rotating Eddy-Current Probe for ECT using Edge FEM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the evaluation of the characteristics of a new type rotating eddy-current probe for nondestructive Eddy-Current Testing (ECT) is carried out using 3-D edge-based FEM. The changes of the induced electromotive force are monitored for various inner and outer types of thin cracks inside the metal plate. It was veri ed that although the intensity of the signal obtained by this new type of probe is smaller than the conventional ones, the shape of the signal and especially its trace could be very useful for detection of the shape, direction and depths of thin cracks and aws inside thin conducting materials.

Spatial detection of ferromagnetic wires using GMR sensor and based on shape induced anisotropy
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new technique for row spacing measurement in a wire array using giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor. The self-rectifying property of the GMR-based probes leads to accurately detection of the magnetic field fluctuations caused by surface-breaking cracks in conductive materials, shape-induced magnetic anisotropy, etc. The ability to manufacture probes h...

متن کاملDesign of Nondestructive System for Hardness of Carbonitrided Steel Parts Using Eddy Current Testing Method: Case study on the Tappet Parts
In this paper, a non-destructive eddy current test system was designed to evaluate the surface hardness of the carbonitrided steel parts. For this purpose, various samples of the tappet were used after the surface hardening and grinding operations as control samples and, if necessary, were subjected to destructive and non-destructive tests. Microstructural studies were performed with a microsco...
متن کاملSurface Profiling and Core Evaluation of Aluminum Honeycomb Sandwich Aircraft Panels Using Multi-Frequency Eddy Current Testing
Surface damage on honeycomb aircraft panels is often measured manually, and is therefore subject to variation based on inspection personnel. Eddy current testing (ECT) is sensitive to variations in probe-to-specimen spacing, or lift-off, and is thus promising for high-resolution profiling of surface damage on aluminum panels. Lower frequency testing also allows inspection through the face sheet...
