Abstract
In this study, we proposed an electromagnetic induction testing method for measuring the electrical properties of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTPs) along the through-thickness direction. The effectiveness of the transmission method, wherein the coil is placed opposite to the object to be measured, was demonstrated through finite element analysis and experimental measurements. The simulation results indicated that the output voltage of an interlaminar non-electrically conductive specimen exceeded that of an interlaminar conductive specimen due to the electromagnetic shielding effect. In the experiments, the impedance along the through-thickness direction depended on the lamination configuration and the presence of the PA-6 layer. Our findings indicate that the proposed method can be used to measure the changes in the electrical properties of CFRTP along the through-thickness direction.
期刊介绍:
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
