Eddy current thermography feasibility study using COMSOL Multiphysics

N. Paudel¹, A. Spann¹, Z. Ouyang²
¹Veryst Engineering, 47A Kearney Rd, Needham, MA 02494
²Pratt & Whitney, 400 Main Street, East Hartford, CT 06118

Eddy current thermography (ECT) is a non-destructive contact-free method of defect detection in a conductive material combining the electromagnetic induction of eddy currents and thermal imaging. This technique uses an excitation system consisting of an inductor with coil(s) carrying ... Read More

Development of Eddy Current Probe using FEM for Matte Level Detection in Pyrometallurgical Furnaces

A. Saleem [1], P. R. Underhill [1], D. Chataway [2], T. Gerritsen [2], A. Sadri [2], T. W. Krause [1],
[1] Department of Physics and Space Science, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2] Hatch Ltd., Mississauga, ON, Canada

Pyrometallurgical furnaces are used to produce metals such as copper, nickel and platinum by the smelting process. During smelting, the undesired material components are separated from the desired metal resulting in the formation of a slag and matte/metal phase. The slag phase ... Read More

Acoustic Wave Crack Detection: A First Principles Approach

R. W. Pryor [1],
[1] Pryor Knowledge Systems, Inc., Bloomfield Hills, MI, USA

Crack detection is and has been an active field of exploration, both theoretical and applied for a number of years. It is the belief of this author that the concepts presented herein explore a new methodology for the modeling and the detection of cracks and families of cracks in ... Read More

A Novel Wavelength Detection Method Based on Wavelength Absorption in Silicon

K. Zhang [1], Y. Audet [1],
[1] École Polytechnique de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada

A new filter-less method of detecting the spectrum based on wavelength absorption in silicon is proposed. Wavelength dependent absorption coefficient produces a unique excess carrier distribution. Thus the wavelength spectral information can be obtained by measuring the photon generated ... Read More

Physics-Based Modeling of Lithium Plating on Graphite Anode of Commercial Lithium-Ion Batteries

Sina Navidi¹, Benjamin Nowacki¹, Aidan Lawlor¹, Jun Xu ², Chao Hu¹
¹School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT, USA
²Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, USA

Lithium plating on the graphite anode is a significant factor contributing to the degradation of cell capacity, initiation of internal short circuits, and escalation of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. Non-intrusive detection methods for lithium plating are critical for the safe ... Read More

Modeling of a Hybrid-Integrated Moving Magnet Drive for a Quasi-Static 2D-MEMS Vector Scanner

Klemens Birnbaum¹, Martin Blasl², Benjamin Mustin², Thilo Sandner²
¹Institute of Automation, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, TUD Dresden University of Technology, 01062 Dresden, Germany
²Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems, Maria-Reiche-Str. 2, 01109 Dresden, Germany

Quasi-static 2D-MEMS vector scanners are micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) made of monocrystalline silicon. The primary application for these controllable micromirrors is the high dynamic and precise deflection of laser beams, for example in light detection and ranging ... Read More

Numerical Study on the Mechanism of Interface Debonding Detection for CFST with PZT

[2] Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China

Introduction In order to understand the detection mechanism of the PZT based nondestructive testing (NDT) technology for interface debonding of CFSTs, numerical simulation on a multi-physical model composed of surface-mounted PZT patches and CFST structural member is established in ... Read More

Remote Sensing of Electromagnetically Penetrable Objects: Landmine and IED Detection

R. Eze [1], G. Sivulka [2], ,
[1] City University of New York - LaGuardia Community College, Long Island City, NY, USA
[2] Regis High School, New York, NY, USA

The detection, characterization, and classification of underground environmental hazardous objects [mines, IEDs, and other unexploded military hardware] is a worldwide problem that needs urgent attention and solution. While electromagnetic sensor technologies have been applied to ... Read More

A. V. Lakshmi[1], K. C. Devi[1]
[1]PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India

This paper presents the design and simulation of a thermal sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics® software for the detection of low body temperature syndrome which can allow the early detection of cancer. This sensor is made of an alloy consisting of two materials with different coefficients ... Read More

Quench Propagation and Detection in a YBCO Racetrack

G. Escamez[1], C. Lorin[1], T. Wu[1], P. J. Masson[1]
[1]University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA

High temperature superconductors (HTS) such as YBCO coated conductors show great promise for future applications where high magnetic fields are needed. The superconducting state only exists under a critical surface defined in the (J,T,B) space. Quench is the process by which a current ... Read More
