The Relationship

Concentrated stresses and residual ones are critical for the metal structures’ health, because they can cause microcracks that require emergency maintenance or can result in potential accidents. Therefore, an accurate approach to the measurement of stresses is key for ensuring the health of metal structures. The eddy current technique is an effective approach to detect the stress according to the piezoresistive effect. However, it is limited to detect the surface stress due to the skin effect. In engineering, the stress distribution is inhomogeneous; therefore, to predict the inhomogeneous stress distribution, this paper proposes a nondestructive approach which combines the eddy current technique and finite element (FE) method. The experimental data achieved through the eddy current technique determines the relationship between the applied force and the magnetic flux density, while numerical simulations through the FE method bridge the relationship between the magnetic flux density and the stress distribution in different directions. Therefore, we can predict the inhomogeneous stress nondestructively. As a case study, the applied stress in a three-point-bending simply supported beam was evaluated, and the relative error is less than 8% in the whole beam. This approach can be expected to predict the residual stress in metal structures, such as rail and vehicle structures, if the stress distribution pattern is known.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe a semi-analytical modeling technique to predict eddy currents in three-dimensional (3D) conducting structures with finite dimensions. Using the developed method, power losses and parasitic forces that result from eddy current distributions can be computed.Design/methodology/approachIn conducting regions, the Fourier-based solutions are developed to include a spatially dependent conductivity in the expressions of electromagnetic quantities. To validate the method, it is applied to an electromagnetic configuration and the results are compared to finite element results.FindingsThe method shows good agreement with the finite element method for a large range of frequencies. The convergence of the presented model is analyzed.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the Fourier series basis of the solution, the results depend on the considered number of harmonics. When conducting structures are small with respect to the spatial period, the number of harmonics has to be relatively large.Practical implicationsBecause of the general form of the solutions, the technique can be applied to a wide range of electromagnetic configurations to predict, e.g. eddy current losses in magnets or wireless energy transfer systems. By adaptation of the conductivity function in conducting regions, eddy current distributions in structures containing holes or slit patterns can be obtained.Originality/valueWith the presented technique, eddy currents in conducting structures of finite dimensions can be modeled. The semi-analytical model is for a relatively low number of harmonics computationally faster than 3D finite element methods. The method has been validated and shown to be computationally accurate.
