Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

Exact solutions for the electromagnetic response of a transmit-receive coil pair situated above two parallel plates, separated by a gap, was developed using recently published solutions that account for all electromagnetic interactions between the voltage driven transmit coil, receive coil and conducting samples. This model was then compared to the canonical solutions developed by Dodd and Deeds, which assume an invariant current and open- circuited pick-up coil. Both analytical models were compared with experimental results that measured the gap profile for a Grade 2 Titanium plate (54 μΩ∙cm) over a SS-316 stainless steel second layer plate (74 μΩ∙cm). These materials simulated the electromagnetic properties of a Zr 2.5% Nb pressure tube and Zircaloy-2 calandria tube, respectively, as found in the fuel channels of CANDU® reactors. It was observed that Dodd and Deeds solutions were valid at low frequencies (2 kHz), but were less accurate at frequencies up to 16 kHz when all electromagnetic interactions needed to be taken into account to achieve good agreement with experiment.
