Pa. Ivanov et al., MAGNETIC-FLUX LEAKAGE MODELING FOR MECHANICAL DAMAGE IN TRANSMISSION PIPELINES, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(5), 1998, pp. 3020-3023
This paper presents a two stage FE model for prediction of magnetic fl
ux leakage, resulting from mechanical damage, In the first stage the s
tress distribution associated with mechanical damage is obtained from
a structural model. In the second stage the stress distribution is inc
orporated into a magnetic FE model, by mapping stress levels to permea
bility. MFL signals are calculated and compared with experimental goug
e MFL signatures.
