Abstract:
Hole-edge crack quantification of bolt joints is critical for monitoring and estimating structural integrity of aircraft. The paper proposes a new triangle eddy current sensor array for the purpose of increasing the level of quantifying hole-edge crack parameters, especially, the crack angle. The new senor array consists of triangular coils instead of planar rectangular coils. The configuration of the novel sensor array, including the excitation current directions and the excitation winding shape, is optimized by simulation. The ability of the proposed sensing film to identify the crack parameters has been verified by finite element simulations and experiments. Results shows that triangular coils with same current directions in circumferentially adjacent coils and opposite current directions in axially adjacent coils achieve better performance in sensor linearity and resolution compared to rectangular coils. In addition, it has also been proved that the sensing film has a good potential to identify the crack depth and length.
