Abstract: | We have used three-dimensional (3D) magnetic finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the MFL signal from a circular dent geometry with associated residual stresses. Strain distribution information around the dent was obtained from an earlier work using finite element structural modeling. In the magnetic FEA dent model, the localized residual stresses were simulated by assigning appropriate values of magnetic anisotropy to the relevant magnetic regions. The simulated flux leakage patterns were found to be in good agreement with the experimentally observed MFL patterns associated with dent shape as well as with the stress effects from the dent. |
