Compu1er Modeling of Pulsed Eddy-currents in Conducting Materials for Ndt Purposes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The numerical modeling of single frequency eddy-current phenomena based on the magnetic vector potential has been successfully applied to many NDT applications [1-3]. Despite the considerable wealth of sinusoidal eddy-current literature, the numerical modeling of pulsed eddy-currents has received little attention. Most of the recent finite element transient eddy-current NDT modeling [4,5] employs a variational time-domain formulation for 2D and axisymmetric geometries. Since this model was tested against experimental measurements, it lacks rigorous quantitative verification required to be a useful NDT design tool.

Coupled Transient Thermal and Pulsed Ec Modeling for Ndt of Materials Subjected to Laser Based Heat Treatment
The pulsed eddy current (PEC) technique is widely used to detect and quantify flaws in conducting plates .This method has been used to test materials subjected to heat treatment. Material properties such as conductivity show a marked change with temperature. As the heat diffuses into the material, the probe output changes owing to the changing material properties. Hence, it becomes difficult to...

Non-destructive testing (NDT) as a part of many technologies includes various techniques for detecting undesirable random events accompanying industrial and operating processes. These NDT techniques must be adjusted to individual needs and materials. From this point of view it would be serviceable to dispose of a technique applicable for as much as possible testings and also e.g. NDT applicatio...

Standard Pulsed Eddy Current Systems, as RTD-INCOTEST© equipment, use receiver coils to measure eddy current decay in conducting objects. Advantages of full coils, as sensor for the eddy current, are its simple construction and the possibility of eddy current focussing. But, some disadvantages are the high induction voltage due to a large pulsed signal, the large sensor area and the low coil’s ...
