This paper deals with response signals processing in eddy current non-destructive testing. Non-sinusoidal excitation is utilized to drive eddy currents in a conductive specimen. The response signals due to a notch with variable depth are calculated by numerical means. The signals are processed in order to evaluate the depth of the notch. Wavelet transformation is used for this purpose. Obtained...

Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) sensing is used for Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) of the structural integrity of metallic structures in the aircraft, railway, oil and gas sectors. Urban water utilities also have extensive large ferromagnetic structures in the form of critical pressure pipe systems made of grey cast iron, ductile cast iron and mild steel. The associated material properties render N...

Non-destructive techniques are used widely in the metal industry in order to control the quality of materials. Eddy current testing is one of the most extensively used non-destructive techniques for inspecting electrically conductive materials at very high speeds that does not require any contact between the test piece and the sensor. This paper includes an overview of the fundamentals and main...

Pulsed eddy current (PEC) technique provides a means to inspect structures without surface contact. It is particularly useful when the structure's rough or inaccessible, such as insulated pipes in pipeline. Probe parameters of PEC system, especially sensing and excitation coil diameters, can significantly affect system's performance. Thus, detailed analysis these paramount developing system. Cu...

High-voltage transmission lines are the main facilities for power transmission, and they mainly composed of aluminum conductor steel-reinforced (ACSR). Over long-term outdoor use, overhead will encounter lightning strikes, chemical pollutant corrosion, deicing, wind vibration, other external forces. This often results in a series potential failures, such as breakage, strands. In order to ensure...
