Eddy current interaction between a probe coil and a conducting plate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider a coil above a conducting plate. The interaction between the probe-coil and the plate is modeled by a quasi-static approximation of Maxwell’s equations: the eddy current model. The associated electromagnetic transmission boundary-value problem can be solved by the integral equations method. However, the discretization of integral operators gives dense, complex and ill-conditioned linear systems. We present here a method to compute the reaction field and the coil impedance variation by solving only surface partial differential equations.

Impedance Evaluation of a Probe-Coil’s Lift-off and Tilt Effect in Eddy-Current Nondestructive Inspection by 3D Finite Element Modeling
The probe-coil’s lift-off and tilt variations will cause noise signals that can obscure the valuable signals when the surface inspection is performed. Prevention of noise signals due to lift-off and tilt variations is an important element in most eddy current inspections. In this paper, the electromagnetic field and impedance of a cylindrical probe-coil have been calculated numerically for arbi...
متن کاملPulsed Eddy-Current Response to a Conducting Half-Space
Eddy-current nondestructive evaluation is commonly carried out using single frequency time harmonic excitations, but a pulsed excitation offers a simple and effective alternative. The pulse signals have been calculated for a probe coil whose current rises and falls exponentially, approximating a square wave when the exponential time constant is small. Predictions of the induced electromotive fo...
متن کاملEddy-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...

The results of a benchmark experiment for transient eddy-current nondestructive evaluation are reported. The benchmark configuration corresponds to the canonical geometry of an air-cored probe coil positioned above a conductive plate containing a long back-face slot. The coil is excited by an exponentially-damped step function current and measurements are made of the change in the transient mag...
