K. Preis et al., NUMERICAL-SIMULATION AND DESIGN OF A FLUXSET SENSOR BY FINITE-ELEMENTMETHOD, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 34(5), 1998, pp. 3475-3478
A 3D model of a fluxset sensor serving to measure magnetic fields aris
ing in Eddy Current Nondestructive Testing applications is analyzed by
the finite element method. The voltage induced in the pick-up coil is
obtained by computing the flux of the core of the sensor for several
values of the exciting current at various external fields. It is shown
that the time shift of the ensuing voltage impulse depends linearly o
n the external field in a wide range. The behavior of the sensor is fu
rthermore simulated in a real nondestructive testing arrangement consi
sting of an exciting coil located above a conducting plate with a crac
k.
