Full textThe main objective of this thesis is to propose and test some shape optimization techniques to identify and reconstruct deposits at the shell side of conductive tubes in steam generators using signals from eddy current coils. This problem is motivated by non-destructive testing applications in the nuclear power industry where the deposit clogging the cooling circuit may affect power productivity and structural safety. We consider in a first part an axisymmetric case for which we set the model by establishing a 2-D differential equation describing the eddy current phenomenon, which enable us to simulate the impedance measurements as the observed signals to be used in the inversion. To speed up numerical simulations, we discuss the behavior of the solution of the eddy current problem and build artificial boundary conditions, in particular by explicitly constructing DtN operators, to truncate the domain of the problem. In the deposit reconstruction, we adapt two different methods according to two distinct kinds of deposits. The first kind of deposit has relatively low conductivity (about 1e4 S/m). We apply the shape optimization method which consists in expliciting the signal derivative due to a shape perturbation of the deposit domain and to build the gradient by using the adjoint state with respect to the derivative and the cost functional. While for the second kind of deposit with high conductivity (5. 8e7 S/m) but in the form of thin layer (in micrometers), the previous method encounter a high numerical cost due to the tiny size of the mesh used to model the layer. To overcome this difficulty, we build an adapted asymptotic model by appropriately selecting the the family of effective transmissions conditions on the interface between the deposit and the tube. The name of the asymptotic model is due to the fact that the effective transmissions conditions are derived from the asymptotic expansion of the solution with respect to a small parameter "delta" characterizing the thickness of the thin layer and the conductivity behavior. Then the inverse problem consists in reconstructing the parameters representing the layer thickness of the deposit. For both of the two approaches, we validate numerically the direct and inverse problems. In a second part we complement this work by extending the above methods to the 3-D case for a non-axisymmetric configuration. This is motivated by either non axisymmetric deposits or the existence of non axisymmetric components like support plates of steam generator tubes

Full textNon-destructive testing is an essential tool to assess the safety of the facilities within nuclear power plants. In particular, conductive deposits on U-tubes in steam generators constitute a safety issue as they may block the cooling loop. To detect these deposits, eddy-current probes are introduced inside the U-tubes to generate currents and measuring back an impedance signal. We develop a shape optimization technique with regularized gradient descent to invert these measurements and recover the deposit shape. To deal with the unknown geometry, and its possibly complex topological nature, we propose to model it using a level set function.The methodology is first validated on synthetic axisymmetric configurations and fast convergence is ensured by careful adaptation of the gradient steps and regularization parameters. Using the actual domain, from which the acquisitions are made, we then consider a more realistic modeling that incorporates the support plate and the presence of imperfections on the tube interior section. We employ in particular an asymptotic model to take into account these imperfections and treat them as additional unknowns in our inverse problem. A multi-objective optimization strategy, based on the use of different operating frequencies, is then developed to solve this problem. We present various numerical examples with synthetic and experimental data showing the viability of our approach.The focus is then placed on the transposition of the 2D-axisymmetric work to more generic 3D configurations. Solving Maxwell eddy-current equations in 3D raises modeling issues related to the choice of the problem formulation as well as high computational costs that need to be reduced before discussing the reconstruction algorithm. Using the knowledge acquired with 2D-axisymmetric reconstruction, an efficient inversion strategy is then proposed and implemented on 3D synthetic data. Validating numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility of the inversion even for large data at a relatively moderate cost and with good accuracy and robustness with respect to noise and modeling errors

Full textThis doctoral thesis work, carried out within the Laboratory of Simulation and Modeling for Electromagnetics (LSME) of CEA List, is part of the “NDTonAir” European project funded under the action “H2020-MSCA-ITN -2016- GRANT 722134”. The main goal of the project is the development of a fast and accurate simulation tool for the non-destructive eddy current testing of homogenized composite materials. As an application case, we are particularly interested in the orientation of the fibers on the one hand, and on the other hand, in defects as delamination which are manifested by a local geometrical deformation of the interfaces. The semi-analytical methods existing in the literature, based on Green's Dyad formalism, have been limited so far to multilayered and planar structures. To introduce local variations in geometry at the interfaces, we propose an innovative approach based on a change of coordinates adapted to the profile of the local perturbation. We propose a powerful numerical model based on the covariant formalism of Maxwell's equations. This unifying formalism takes in the anisotropy of specimen and the local deformations of the interfaces. The curvilinear coordinate method is usually used to solve diffraction problems on rough interfaces in the high frequency domain (diffraction on gratings). This thesis work is inspired by Fourier Modal Methods and proposes new tools which have been adapted to the field of eddy currents. The extension of the curvilinear coordinate method to the field of eddy currents non-destructive testing technique of composites constitutes the innovation of this work. Two numerical models have been developed to calculate the interaction of the field emitted by an eddy current probe with a multilayered composite material. The numerical model developed for the evaluation of planar composite exploits the particular structures of sparse matrices to reduce the computation time without limiting the number of modes used for the modal expansion of the field. In the case of the curvilinear profiles of the interfaces, the model makes it possible to treat parallel interfaces and some particular cases of non-parallel profiles. The general case of non-identical profiles presents some limitations which require the development of complementary numerical tools. Finally, several testing configurations were considered and the numerical results produced by the models were compared to finite element simulated data. Some experiments were carried out in foreign partner laboratories to increase our experience on experimental validation

Full textThermographic inspection is a popular nondestructive testing (NdT) technique that provides images of temperature distribution over large areas at surfaces of tested workpieces. Detecting delaminations between metallic layers is the matter here. Simulation of these inspections indeed helps to complement experimental studies, evaluate performance in terms of detection and support model-based algorithms. A semi-analytical model based on a truncated region eigenfunction expansion for simulation of thermographic inspection is focused onto. The problem is solved in the Laplace domain w.r.t time, and the temperature distribution approximated by expanding it on a tensor product basis. Considered sources are lamps providing thermal excitation but may also be eddy current sources (leading to a coupled electromagnetic and heat problem). The description of the delaminations as thin air gaps between the workpiece layers proves to be equivalent with introduction of a surface resistance to the heat flow, enabling treatment via the applied modal approach without additional discretisation. Complementary computations by industry (Finite Element Method) and in-house (Finite Integration Technique) codes confirm the accuracy of the developments. Then, much attention is put on imaging and detection. A two-step procedure is devised, first denoising of raw signals and detection of any possible defect using a thermographic signal reconstruction leading to high spatial and temporal resolution in the transverse plane, completed by proper edge detection, second an iterative optimization being employed, with results of the first step used for regularization of a least-square scheme to characterize thicknesses and depths. All the above is illustrated by comprehensive numerical simulations in conditions close to practice

Full textModeling of integrated magnetic components in electrical engineering (such as high frequency transformers) leads to several issues related to frequency increase. This frequency increase induces eddy currents in conducting material which require very fine meshes and consequently, it leads to large systems of equations and prohibit computational cost, especially for 3D structures. The commercial scientific software only partially tackle these issues due notably to the presence of airgaps (modeling "infinite" medium by radiating conditions), the presence of thin layers (very heterogeneous meshes), and the inclusion of winding multi-layers. To deal with these difficulties, dedicated tools have been implemented. The primary issue that is the presence of airgaps is treated by solving a coupled "Finite Element Method (FEM)/ Boundary Element Method (BEM)" system in 3D. The BEM is adapted to general field problems with unbounded structures because no artificial boundaries are needed, this is not the case for the FEM. Moreover, the BEM requires only a surface discretisation which reduces the number of unknowns and then the computational time. The secondary issue is to deal with thin conductive layers used in a wide range of applications for shielding purpose. Modeling such conductive regions require very fine volume discretisation due to the rapid decay of fields through the surface for high frequencies. To avoid this difficulty, we derive an equivalent model for 3D Eddy Current problem with a conductive thin layer of slight thickness, where the conductive sheet is replaced by its mid-surface, and its shielding behaviour is satisfied by an equivalent transmission condition which connects the electric and magnetic fields around the surface. In addition, an efficient discretisation using the BEM is provided to solve numerically the problem with the transmission condition. The last issue is to tackle the foil winding problems. We proceed by considering the simple case of a problem of laminar stacks. We provide an effective modeling of the laminar stacks in 1D and 2D by deriving the classical homogenisation in the domain of the laminar stacks. Then, we study the influence of the interface (with air) on the vector potential to treat the problem in the whole domain. We also consider the case where the skin depth is kept less than or equal to the thickness of the metal sheet

This study investigated the eddy current probe for crack detection in flat metal surface. The eddy current probe consists of a ferrite-core inductor coil and ceramic capacitors to form a parallel resonant circuit. The ac signal was amplified by using a mixer. In detection the crack, one can instantly observe the change in voltage waveform by using an oscilloscope. The several absolute and differential probes were made for comparison in the performance. When the absolute probe and the differential probe are tested with an automatic scanning system with a fixed 1 mm gap to the surface of test piece, the flaw with a minimum depth of 3 mm can be detected for SS304 stainless steel and aluminum plates. When scanned manually with the probe in contact with the surface of a buckle gauge block, the smallest depth of detectable flaw is only 0.2mm. In comparison with the differential probe, the absolute probe's structure is simple and the spatial resolution is better. The developed probes can be used for dynamic flaw detection in non-contact or contact mode. They will be suitable for applications in production line automation testing and on-site mobile testing.

The eddy-current non-destructive evaluation (EC NDE) is a powerful method of flaw detection in industrial applications. The conventional EC NDE instrument is very sensitive to the surface-breaking crack. However, they are not suitable for the detection of deep-lying cracks in good conductors since the skin depth is small at the typically high excitation frequencies from 0.1 MHz to 10 MHz. In this work, we design and fabricate the differential eddy-current probe consisting of differential and absolute induction coils. The eddy-current probe can be operated either with the differential coil as the gradiometer and the absolute coil as the exciter, or the absolute coil as the magnetometer and the differential coil as the exciter. For detecting the crack in layered aluminum sheets, the lowest excitation frequency of the probe is 10 Hz, and the detectable depth of the crack is as deep as 12.5 mm. Notably, the power-line magnetic interference is reduced with the induction coil gradiometer. The signal-to-noise ratio of the gradiometer probe is better that of the magnetometer probe at 60 Hz. The optimal excitation frequency at varies flaw depth is slightly different between the gradiometer and the magnetometer. The range of the optimal frequency is from 80 Hz to 1000 Hz for the layered aluminum sheets with the crack depth from 12.5 mm to 0.5 mm. The signal-to-noise at varies excitation frequencies shows that both the gradiometer and magnetometer probes are suitable for flaw depth evaluation. The linear relationship between phase lag angle and flaw depth for the cylindrical flaw is almost the same as that for the crack-like flaw by using either the gradiometer probe or the magnetometer probe. Moreover, the slope of the linear relation between the phase lag angle and the flaw depth varies with the skin depth in the same way for crack-like flaws and cylindrical flaws. However, both probes are not sensitive to the profile of small cylindrical flaws due to the large probe-size. Nevertheless, the eddy-current magnetic field map of the cylindrical flaw is generally different from that of the crack-like flaw. This implies that further information about the shape of flaw may be extracted from the eddy-current mapping measured with the proposed eddy-current probe.

Abstract This paper investigates the effects of eddy current in the silicon steel. The eddy current constitutes a major portion of the core loss in the transformer and the motor operation. It is desirable for the designers to understand the amount and the distribution of the eddy current within a silicon steel under operation. Eddy current is also known to be very hard to measure. This paper first investigates the eddy current distribution using ANSYS simulation. The simulations enable us to study the effect of holes drilled through the silicon steel test specimen. The research further measures the eddy current using the needle probe approach. The measured current is compared with the magnetic flux measured off an Asymmetric Magnetic Resistive sensor to compute the local hysteresis loop.

Magnetic bearing is a non-contact bearing which can levitate a rotating shaft by electromagnetic force. There are no frictions between bearing and shaft, so it will not has wear or dirt inside. Thus, there are no requirements for lubricating and maintaining. In addition to extending the using life and improving efficacy, also enhance the rotating speed and cleanliness of the AMB. The position of the shaft is detected by the position sensor, to help the controller levitate the rotating shaft in a stable condition. The major target of this research is to develop an eddy current position sensor probe, in addition to its mathematical model derived accordingly. To build the mathematical model, firstly study the previous literature of eddy current position sensor probe and the effect of eddy current on the magnet field. Secondly, make a finite element simulation as the various positions to the various impedances of sensor probe. Lastly, an experimental setup is established to verify the efficacy of the eddy current position sensor probe, to verify how much credibility of the mathematical model. An eddy current position sensor probe based on the PSO algorithm design is realized to verify the efficacy, its sensitivity at 0.5 mm is 40 µH/mm, and the nonlinearity is 6.74%. The average error of probe inductance between the mathematical model and the experiment is below 5%.

While evaluating the depth of corrosive defect of the pipe through Remote Field Eddy Current (RFEC) Testing technology, the critical principle of the process is to use the interaction of the magnetic field. Generally, exciter coils in the low-frequency alternating current and detector coils can generate the magnetic field. The signal curve can be transformed by receiving and plotting the induction voltage of detector coils. In addition, the signal curve can be used to identify the existence and the depth of corrosive defect from the shape and angle of the curve. Thus, the structure of the detector has a great influence on the exactitude of the testing. However, in the real experiment, RFEC probe is covered by shell and hard to disassemble. Thus, few people doing the research to analyze the structure of the RFEC probes. This research is based on two-dimensional axial-symmetry models and using Finite Element Method to simulate different structures or designs, such as the distance between exciter coils and detector coils, the amplitude and frequency of current in exciter coils, and even the material and size of shield. The simulation results show the influences of changing these important characteristics. Therefore, with these scenarios, the RFEC testing technology can be understood more completely and be improved the accuracy and reliability of the experiment by optimizing the sensibility of the RFEC probe.
