Finite Element Method Simulation of Photoinductive Imaging for Cracks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the numerical simulations of photoinductive imaging (PI) method have been performed using the finite element method (FEM) with the 2D transient to characterize corner cracks at the edge of a bolt hole. The PI imaging results have higher spatial resolution in the area of the defect in 2D models as compared with the conventional eddy current (EC) images. The FEM simulation results of 0.5-mm rectangular defects are showed and analyzed. The dependencies of PI signals on EC frequencies and temperature of the thermal spot are also examined. The results demonstrate that the PI method is applicable to examine the geometric shape of corner cracks.

Using Pattern Search Algorithm and Finite Element Method to Detect Rotor Cracks
The vibration pattern of a rotor system reflects the mechanical parameter changes in the system. Hence, the use of vibration monitoring is considered as a possible means of detecting the presence and growth of the cracks. In this paper, a pattern search based method for shaft crack detection is proposed and described which formulates the shaft crack detection as an optimization problem by means...
متن کاملEvaluation of Fracture Parameters by Coupling the Edge-Based Smoothed Finite Element Method and the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method
This paper presents a technique to evaluate the fracture parameters by combining the edge based smoothed finite element method (ESFEM) and the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). A semi-analytical solution is sought in the region close to the vicinity of the crack tip using the SBFEM, whilst, the ESFEM is used for the rest of the domain. As both methods satisfy the partition of unity...
متن کاملNew Metrod for Estimating the Depth of Small Surface-breaking Cracks from Photo Inductive Data
Since the depth of surface-breaking cracks often determines the remairring life of a part, the characterization of surface-breaking cracks is a key problern in nondestructive evaluation. Eddy currents have been used for this purpose [1]. However, traditional eddy current methods have poor success when the dimensions of the crack are small compared with the inner radius of the eddy current probe...

The extended finite element method (X-FEM) is a numerical method for modeling discontinuties, such as cracks, within the standard finite element framework. In X-FEM, special functions are added to the finite element approximation. For crack modeling in linear elasticity, appropriate functions are used for modeling discontinuties along the crack length and simulating the singularity in the crack...
