Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing is widely applied in the online detection of steel pipes. Different magnetizing directions are required for the detection of defects in different directions. As the speed of online MFL testing increases, the motion induced eddy current (MIEC) effect becomes significant, and the direction of the MIEC is perpendicular to defects in the same direction as the magnetization. Therefore, the magnetic field signal generated by the MIEC perturbation is analyzed by simulation and compared with MFL signal. It is found that the amplitude of the magnetic field signal generated by the MIEC perturbation increases with the rise of the rotational speed and magnetization. In high rotational speed and strong magnetization, the amplitude of the magnetic field signal caused by MIEC perturbation is greater relative to the amplitude of the MFL signal, providing a possibility for detecting defects that are parallel to the direction of magnetization.

Conventional eddy current bobbin probes, multi-pancake and/or rotating pancake probes, and transmit-receive eddy current probes are currently utilized in testing metal tubing. Each method has respective strengths and weaknesses. This paper proposes another eddy current probe with new features. The structure is designed to be sensitive to circumferential cracks, which are not easily detected with ordinary bobbin coil probes. The directions of the magnetic field and the eddy current around the coil were considered in design of the probe structure. Signals of these probes from the artificial defects were acquired and analyzed. Experimental results show that the developed probes are more sensitive to circumferential defects than comparable ordinary bobbin probes. In addition, the new probes are insensitive to axial defects. By employing both the new probes and ordinary bobbin probes, more reliable ECT can be performed.

The phase propagation in superconducting aluminum has been studied by measuring the time rate of change of ultrasonic attenuation. The time taken for the destruction of the superconducting phase in a cylindrical specimen, by means of a magnetic field, H, greater than the critical field, Hc, is approximately proportional to{H/(H–Hc)} in agreement with eddy-current theory. In the converse case, where the superconducting phase is restored by switching off the magnetic field H (>Hc), the total time taken is nearly independent of the temperature (or Hc) as well as H. The superconducting phase grows at a non-uniform volume rate which is considerably less than the uniform rate of collapse.

High-frequency magnetic field has been developed pervasively. The induction of heat from the magnetic field can help to treat tumor tissue to a certain extent. Normally, treatment by the low-frequency magnetic field needed to be combined with magnetic substances. To assist in the induction of magnetic fields and reduce flux leakage. However, there are studies that have found that high frequencies can cause heat to tumor tissue. In this paper present, a new magnetic application will focus on the analysis of the high-frequency magnetic nickel core with multi-coil. In order to focus the heat energy using a high-frequency magnetic field into the tumor tissue. The magnetic coil was excited by 915 MHz signal and the combination of tissues used are muscle, bone, and tumor. The magnetic power on the heating predicted by the analytical model, the power loss density (2.98e-6 w/m3) was analyzed using the CST microwave studio.

The quantitative evaluation of defects in eddy current testing is of great significance. Impedance analysis, as a traditional method, is adopted to determine defects in the conductor, however, it is not able to depict the shape, size and location of defects quantitatively. In order to obtain more obvious characteristic quantities and improve the ability of eddy current testing to detect defects, the study of cracks in metal pipes is carried out by utilizing the analysis method of three-dimensional magnetic field in present paper. The magnetic field components in the space near the crack are calculated numerically by using finite element analysis. The simulation results confirm that the monitoring of the crack change can be achieved by measuring the magnetic field at the arrangement positions. Besides, the quantitative relationships between the shape, length of the crack and the magnetic field components around the metal pipe are obtained. The results show that the axial and radial magnetic induction intensities are affected more significantly by the cross-section area of the crack. Bz demonstrates obvious advantages in analyzing quantitatively crack circumference length. Therefore, the response signal in the three-dimensional direction of the magnetic field gets to intuitively reflect the change of the defect parameter, which proves the effectiveness and practicability of this method.

This paper describes the design of a Through Silicon Via based high density 3D inductors for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. We present some possible challenges for TSV-based inductors in IoT applications. The current trend towards Internet of Things (IOT), System in Package (SiP) and Package-on-Package (PoP) requires meeting the power requirements of heterogeneous technologies while maintaining minimum package size. 3-D chip stacking has emerged as one of the potential solutions due to its high density integration in a 3D power electronics packaging regime. As an integral part of many power electronics applications, TSV-based inductors are becoming a popular choice because of their high inductance density due to the reduced on-chip footprint compared to conventional planar inductors. Depending on the requirement, values of these inductors could range from a few nanohenries to hundreds of microhenries. Small inductors with a high quality factor are mainly used for RF filter applications, whereas large inductors are used in power electronics packaging. For high inductance it is necessary to use ferromagnetic materials. A conventional ferromagnetic metal core like nickel could offer high permeability, which can help to boost the inductance. However, the magnetic field lines within a metal core induce eddy current which can have multiple adverse effect in power electronics packaging. For example, it has long been known that the current can increase the resistance in transformer winding [1]. Eddy current can also heat up the core of the inductor which makes the heat sink process in 3D packaging even more challenging. One way to decrease the eddy current, is to pattern and laminate the core block into multiple segments orthogonal to the direction of the magnetic field line [2]. Another method is to increase the resistivity of the core material so that the eddy current is limited to a very small magnitude [3].

Using large finite element analysis (FEA) software ANSYS, the stress-magnetization effect on 20# steel specimens with different shape notches is simulated under the geomagnetic field and tensile load. With the stimulation, the magnetic flux leakage fields at certain positions of the surface specimen were measured. Through analysis the relationship between the magnetic flux leakage fields of certain points with tensile stress, the results showed that the magnetic field value at certain positions of specimen surface first decreases and then increases along with the increase of stress, which is called magnetization reversal phenomenon; Different gaps and different positions of the specimen show different magnetization reversal rules; By measuring the maximal variation of the magnetic field value △Hmax at certain positions of the surface specimen and by analyzing its change law, we can roughly estimate specimen stress size and distribution regularity of stress. Moreover, this article also discusses the effect of lifts-off of the probe on the law of stress magnetization.

There is a magnetic field inside thrust bearing. The magnetic field distribution is one of the key factors which decide the running state and performance. With the finite element of ANSYS software, the magnetic field of thrust bearing has been analyzed. The rule of changes between the magnetic field and the influencing factors has been discovered. The analysis shows that the direction of exciting current should be opposite other than identical. The greater the ratio of gap length between stator and rotor and working gap length is, the less magnetic field leakage is. The flux leakage of thrust bearing attains 37 percent when the ratio of the gap is 4.0. If the design of a complete machine is not proper, the flux leakage may attain 20 percent upwards through other gaps although that of the bearing itself is almost zero. Calculation of bearing capacity indicates that theoretical value is not exact due to its neglect of magnetic saturation and flux leakage, while FEM value comparably matches the real substance with considering the magnetic saturation and flux leakage. The research provides the theoretical basis for optimization of system structure and selection of current direction control.
