Conventional shear horizontal (SH0) guided wave electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) has been widely used for pipeline detection due to its advantages of non-dispersion and simple vibration mode. While echo amplitude can be utilized to detect defects, it presents limitations in discerning between those residing on the surface and those located subsurface. This paper proposes a hybrid sensing...Show More
A novel electromagnetic nondestructive testing (NDT) method is developed based on a high-resolution array sensing structure within a proposed U-shaped zero-magnetic zoning field. This design leverages the magnetic repulsion mechanism to create a homogeneous zero-magnetic region in the middle of a U-shaped zoning structure. This innovation aims to enhance both defect sensitivity and imaging capabil...Show More
Eddy current (EC) detection technique has been applied for the inspection of small-diameter pipelines whereas it retains the limitation in detecting defects on the outer wall of the pipeline. This article proposes new instrumentation of cross electromagnetic EC sensing for internal pipeline inspection. The technique integrates the principles of remote field EC (RFEC) and near field EC and involves...Show More
Traditional infrared thermal testing (IRT) is susceptible to surface conditions such as variation of surface emissivity, which may lead to false detection and has high requirements for the flatness and cleanliness of the sample. Traditional visual testing (VT) could capture surface texture information with high resolution but lacks the ability to detect sub-surface defects. This paper proposes a m...Show More
In-line inspection (ILI) technology is a crucial tool for maintaining pipeline integrity. However, it faces considerable challenges such as adaptability in identifying various types of faults. In this article, a new type of ILI system based on electromagnetic induction and magnetization is proposed. First, a novel magnetic ring structure (MRS) is developed which can generate axial magnetic flux le...Show More
Nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques are widely used for inspection and evaluation of conductive materials. However, a single physical mechanism sensing cannot simultaneously satisfy multiple inspection requirements. In this article, we propose a hybrid transducer based on magnetic flux leakage (MFL) and electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) for synchronous detection of surface and interna...Show More
The effectiveness of railway fault inspection has remained challenging. Conventional techniques are still functionally limited and unable to meet the increasing demand of railway diagnosis. To mitigate the variety of rail fault detection problems, this article proposes a dynamic railway inspection system based on multiphysical coupled electromagnetic and thermography sensing. It further shows the ...Show More
Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) detection methods are widely used to detect pipeline defects. However, it is limited by the detection orientation and magnetization. Besides, bulky excitation systems are incapable of adapting to the complex detection environments. This article proposes a new electromagnetic structured coupling sensing of merging alternating current field measurement and MFL within a mu...Show More
In-pipeline inspection is an important precontrol method to ensure the safety of oil and gas pipeline transportation. This article proposes an electromagnetic in-pipe detector based on passive resonance-enhanced differential planar coils to detect defects on the inner surface of pipes. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses of pipeline defects and damage are developed. The introduction of pass...Show More
Traditional magnetic flux leakage (MFL) detection technology is limited to single direction defect detection, which will lead to missed detection and bring great hidden danger to pipeline safety assessment. This paper proposes a new structured multiphysics sensing of merging Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) and MFL within a multi-parameter system for different defects detection. In par...Show More
