Fast Analytical Modeling of Eddy Current Non-Destructive Testing of Magnetic Material

This article presents the modeling of non-destructive testing systems containing magnetic materials using a fast numerical method. Its main aim consists of correcting the half analytical expression of the impedance variation, formulated by some authors, caused by the presence of a conducting plate below of an absolute ferrite core probe. The obtained results of this correction are found to be consistent and satisfactory comparatively to those of finite element method. It also deals with the study the method rapidity by comparing its simulation time to that of the finite element method. As result, the proposed method is found to be very fast and a very short simulation time is required to calculate the sensor impedance. Indeed, for the studied system the coupled circuit simulation time is lower than 1.09 s. This study is appreciable, since it permits to solve quickly the inverse problem by expressing the physical and geometrical features of the material or defect according to the measured parameters. More importantly, this method is applicable to any axi-symmetric systems and can be adapted for the simulation of three-dimensional configurations.

Optimal Convergence of the Fixed-Point Method for Nonlinear Eddy Current Problems

A method is presented for the optimal choice of the fixed-point reluctivity in nonlinear eddy current problems solved for steady-state in the frequency and the time domain. The optimal selection is shown to ensure a minimal contraction number for the fixed-point method. The proposed technique is compared to earlier approaches using a 2-D example.

Time-Frequency Analysis of Pulsed Eddy Current Signals

Detection and measurement of the material loss due to corrosion in aircraft fuselage lap splices are of great importance to life management of ageing aircraft. Pulsed eddy current (PEC) techniques have shown the potential to fully characterise these structures. However, variations in the probe lift-off, the interlayer gaps and material thinning produce similar PEC signals, making signal interpretation very difficult. This paper describes time-frequency analysis algorithms applied to pulsed-eddy current signals from lap-joint specimens containing simulated flaws. The effect of probe lift-off, interlayer gap, and material thinning on PEC signals is examined in three-dimensional space (amplitude-time-frequency). This study shows that the time-frequency analysis of PEC signals provides specific visual patterns that can be related to the interlayer gap, lift-off, and material loss.     

Low Frequency Eddy Current Testing of Insulators and Composites

Eddy current testing (ECT), a non-destructive testing method widely used to evaluate defects within conductive materials, is explored in this study as it applies to insulators and non-uniformly conductive materials. Previous work has shown that at high frequencies, differences in electric permittivity can be detected with ECT. In this study, a new design of an ECT sensor that employs two resonance-tuned coils is evaluated. Results show that material inconsistencies in insulators are detectable due to spatial variations in permittivity and magnetic permeability, and that detection is possible at lower frequencies than previously demonstrated. In addition to determining signal dependence on individual electromagnetic parameters, sensitivity for defect detection in a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite is qualitatively determined. Although low signal-to-noise ratio is observed with a small-diameter coil, by increasing the coil diameter, the signal to noise ratio is increased while preserving adequate spatial resolution to detect defects in the sample. This study expands on previous studies of the application of ECT to insulators, and demonstrates that defect detection is possible in CFRPs.     

Comparison of Error Estimators in Eddy Current Testing

In this paper we present the comparison of error estimators using in 3-D magnetoharmonic FE model dedicated to eddy-current testing. The first error estimator is based on the nonverification of the behaviour law. This estimator is very accurate but requires the solution of both complementary formulations. The second estimator is based on an energetic approach using the Poynting vector in conductive regions and using the variation of the magnetic energy in nonconductive regions. Both estimators are tested within an adaptive meshing procedure and the results are compared with experimental results.
