Time—frequency and time-scale analysis of Barkhausen noise signals

Time-frequency and Time-Scale analysis of Barkhausen noise signals

Carrying out information about the microstructure and stress behaviour of ferromagnetic steels, Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) has been used as a basis for effective Non Destructive Testing methods, opening new areas in industrial applications. One of the factors that determines the quality and reliability of the MBN analysis is the way information is extracted from the signal. Commonly, simpl...

Barkhausen noise: Elementary signals, power laws, and scaling relations.

We report extensive measurements, with sufficiently large statistics, of the Barkhausen noise ~BN! in the case of the commercial VITROVAC 6025 X metal glass sample. Applying a very scrutinized numerical procedure, we have extracted over one million of the BN elementary signals from the raw experimental data, whereby we made a rather precise estimation of the relevant power law exponents. In con...

Barkhausen Noise Modelof Microdefect Characterization

The testing method using Barkhausen noise (B.N) is a particular method, which can be applied on ferromagnetic materials. It is a magnetic non destructive evaluation (NDE) method and can provide very important information about the material microstructure. The work here presented documents the ability to determine the metallurgical state of steel. A new approach is studied of defects; microstruc...

Effeci's of Stress on Magnetic Flux Leakage and Magnetic Barkhausen Noise Signals

Pipelines are pressure vessels. Their enviable safety record compares weil with other transportation modes. Typical pipeline fatality rates are about 1% those of rail or air which are, in turn, about 1% of highway fatalities. Pipeline safety is first assured by rigorous inspection during pipe manufacture and line construction. All welds are inspected using radiography to detect voids and ultras...
