Modelling eddy-current testing probe signals induced by carbon fibre reinforced polymer laminates
Source abstract
Abstract
Electromagnetic modelling of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) specimens is performed using a plane-wave decomposition approach. Both single-coil configurations and driver-pickup coil pairs are considered, and variations in self- and mutual impedance are calculated. Compared with three-dimensional finite-element methods, the proposed approach is significantly less computationally demanding, enabling fine parameter sweeps. This allows a detailed investigation of the sensitivity of eddy-current testing methods to various specimen parameters. The accuracy of the method is validated through comparisons with alternative simulations and experimental measurements.
