Abstract

This study explores the effect of strain on Magneto Acoustic Emission (MAE) characteristics in Q235 steel plates under various excitation frequencies and voltages. Using Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Transform (MODWT), we processed envelope energy signals derived from MAE signals generated from samples subjected to incremental tensile forces revealing critical variations in features extracted from AC and DC components such as RMS, mean bias and energy distribution. The results demonstrate the significant impact of strain on MAE signal characteristics, particularly under higher excitation frequencies and voltages, which enhances the detection of subtle plastic deformations. Our approach provides a refined methodology for enhancing MAE-based Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) practices, crucial for the reliable assessment of material integrity in engineering applications.
