Eddy Current and Gauge Transformation.

Eddy current

Eddy currents (also called Foucault currents[1]) are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor, due to Faraday’s law of induction. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field. They can be induced within nearby stationary conductors by a time-varying magnetic field created by anAC el...

Application of Lorentz force eddy current testing and eddy current testing on moving nonmagnetic conductors

Lorentz force eddy current testing is a novel nondestructive testing technique which can be applied preferably to the identification of internal defects in non-ferromagnetic moving conductors. This paper describes the comparison of this new technique with well-known eddy current testing. Measurements and numerical simulations have been done for both techniques for artificial subsurface defects ...

Singularities of eddy current problems

We consider the time-harmonic eddy current problem in its electric formulation where the conductor is a polyhedral domain. By proving the convergence in energy, we justify in what sense this problem is the limit of a family of Maxwell transmission problems: Rather than a low frequency limit, this limit has to be understood in the sense of BOSSAVIT [11]. We describe the singularities of the solu...
