Finite Element Modeling of Magnetic Field/Defect Interactions

CODEN: JTEVAB

Abstract

Defect modeling and the prediction of magnetic field/defect interactions is of importance to the further refinement of electromagnetic methods of defect detection and categorization. Finite element methods are particularly suited to the analysis of field distributions within magnetic structures having complex boundary geometries and nonlinear B-H characteristics. This paper describes operational aspects of the finite element technique and shows how such methods can be applied to the analysis of electromagnetic methods of nondestructive testing, by predicting the magnetic field distribution around a rectangular slot in the surface of a circular ferromagnetic bar carrying an axial magnetisation current.
