Paper presents utilized innovative setup for eddy current tomography and possibility of its utilization in automotive industry. Described tomography setup is designed for testing axisymmetric objects thus motor valve was selected for exemplary testing. Tests were conducted on motor valve in original state. Afterwards reference defect was created on element and measurements were repeated. Significant difference between tests results were observed, thus potential for utilization in automotive industry was confirmed. Finite element method simulations were applied in order to confirm the measurement results. Calculations were conducted in open-source finite element method software, which solves Maxwell equations in the A-V form. Modelling results confirm possibility of finite element method-based inverse tomography transformation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
