Pulsed Eddy-Current Response to a Conducting Half-Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 force (EMF) across a coil above a half-space conductor and of the magnetic field on the coil axis have been compared with experiments. The comparison shows excellent agreement between theory and experiment.

Transient Currents in a Double Conductor Line above a Conducting Half-Space
Transient eddy current problem is solved in the present paper by the method of the Laplace transform for the case of a double conductor line located parallel to a conducting half-space. The Fourier sine and cosine integral transforms are used in order to find the Laplace transform of the solution. The inverse Laplace transform of the solution is found in closed form. The integrated electromotiv...
متن کاملCompu1er Modeling of Pulsed Eddy-currents in Conducting Materials for Ndt Purposes
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] emplo...
متن کاملDesign of Nondestructive System for Hardness of Carbonitrided Steel Parts Using Eddy Current Testing Method: Case study on the Tappet Parts
In this paper, a non-destructive eddy current test system was designed to evaluate the surface hardness of the carbonitrided steel parts. For this purpose, various samples of the tappet were used after the surface hardening and grinding operations as control samples and, if necessary, were subjected to destructive and non-destructive tests. Microstructural studies were performed with a microsco...
متن کاملTime domain half-space dyadic Green’s functions for eddy-current calculations
The field due to an impulsive current dipole embedded in a half-space conductor adjoining a nonconducting half space is given by an exact solution of the quasistatic field equations. This solution has been used to construct a half-space dyadic Green’s function containing a term for an unbounded conductor plus terms representing the field reflected at the interface between conducting and noncond...
متن کاملTowards Material Characterization and Thickness Measurements using Pulsed Eddy Currents implemented with an Improved Giant Magneto Resistance Magnetometer
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 ...
