Abstract

Electromagnetically induced acoustic emission technique is a new nondestructive testing technology. By electromagnetically induced high density eddy current pulse, we can get a strong signal which can be used to locate small flaws in a thin-walled structure nondestructively. The strength of the acoustic emission signal determines the accuracy of the signal detection. This paper presents two three-dimensional finite element models for signal detection electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer, and the analysis based on three-dimensional finite element simulation on sensitivity of models with different coil shapes has been performed, and the matching problem between permanent magnet and coil size is also considered.
