Synopsis

Transient Electromagnetic-Thermal Nondestructive Testing: Pulsed Eddy Current and Transient Eddy Current Thermography covers three key areas of theories, methods and applications, primarily the multi-physics field, including eddy current, heat conduction and Infrared radiation for defect evaluation, lateral heat conduction, which is analyzed to detect parallel cracks, and longitudinal heat conduction, which is analyzed to detect depth defect, or that which is beyond skin depth.

In addition, the book explores methods, such as time domain, frequency domain and logarithm domain, also comparing A-scan , B-scan and C-scan. Sections on defect identification, classification and quantification are covered, as are advanced algorithms, principal components analysis (PCA), independent components analysis (ICA) and support vector machine (SVM).

The book uses a lot of experimental studies on multi-layer aluminum structures, honeycomb structure, CFRP in the aerospace field, and steel and coating in the marine rail and transportation fields.

• Presents two kinds of transient NDT testing, from theory and methodology, to applications
• Includes time domain frequency domain and logarithm domain, which are all analyzed
• Introduces A-scan , B-scan and C-scan, which are compared
• Provides experimental studies for real damages, including corrosion and blister in steel, stress in aluminum, impact and delamination in CFRP laminates and RCF cracks are abundant

About this title

From the Back Cover

Transient Electromagnetic-Thermal Nondestructive Testing focuses on two cutting-edge techniques used for Nondestructive Testing (NDT): Pulsed Eddy Current (PEC) and Transient Eddy Current Thermography (TECT).
These two electromagnetic nondestructive (EM NDT) techniques are a means to lower operation and maintenance costs and improve reliability and availability. Their advantages of high speed, high penetration, high sensitivity, wide spectrum, low cost, and easy quantification mean that they play an increasingly important role in: aerospace, renewable energy, marine science, railway, traffic control, civil engineering, and other industrial fields.
Coverage includes:
· Theory: including the examination of multiphysics fields for (a) defect evaluation, such as parallel cracks, deep defects beneath the skin and (b) quantification, such as the analysis of thermal wave propagation for phase-based defect quantification
· Methods: including a variety of EM-thermal NDT techniques; time-domain, frequency-domain,
and logarithm-domain defect evaluation methods; advanced algorithms, such as principal components analysis (PCA), independent components analysis (ICA), support vector machine
(SVM), Blind Source Separation (BSS) and multidimensional tensor decomposition; and image reconstruction and enhancement for improving detectability
· Applications: including an analysis and evaluation of the variation in the properties of
material including conductivity, permeability, and lift-off; experimental studies for real
damage, including corrosion in steel, stress in aluminum, impact and delamination in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, and RCF cracks in rail tracks
