Under extreme working conditions, corrosion appears and quickly propagates at the rivet sites of the layers; thus, it threads the integrity and safety of the aircraft. Corrosion usually occurs at the hidden layer around the rivet, making it difficult to detect. This paper proposes a machine learning approach incorporating an electromagnetic testing system to detect the hidden corrosion at the riveting site effectively. Several machine learning methods will be investigated for the detection of different sizes and locations of corrosion. The training strategy of the machine-learning models on the small numbers of data will also be investigated. The result shows that the proposed approach could effectively detect 89.48% of the hidden corrosion having from 2.8 to 195.4 mm3 with only 20% of training data and could be increased to 99.0% with 60–80% of the training data.

They provide excellent ductility and toughness when exposed to external stresses. They are able to resist stresses and strains effectively, and guarantee safe operation of the devices through nondestructive testing (NDT). The magnetic metal memory (MMM) can be used as an NDT method to measure the residual stress. The ability of carbon steel to produce a magnetic memory effect under stress is explored here, and enables the magnetic flux density to be analyzed. The relationship between stress and magnetic flux density has not been fully presented until now. The purpose of this paper is to assess the relationship between stress distribution and the magnetic flux density measured by the experiment. For this, an experimental method for examining a carbon steel plate (SA 106), based on the four-point loading test, was used. The effect of stresses resulting from the applied loads on the response of th...

Two types of magnetic cameras were used to image eddy currents using exciting coils and annularly arrayed magnetic sensors, in order to detect and evaluate defects.

The shape and size of the surface damages can be evaluated from the magnetic flux density distribution measured by the magnetic sensor array on one side from the center of the magnetizer. The magnetic sensors were arrayed on a curved shape probe according to the tube’s cross-sectional shape, membrane, and weld. On the other hand, the couplant was doped to the water-cooled wall, and a thin film was formed thereon by polyethylene terephthalate. Then, the measured signal of the flexible ultrasonic probe was used to detect and evaluate the depth of the damages. The combination of the magnetic and ultrasonic methods helps to detect and evaluate both near and far-side damages. Near-side damages with a minimum depth of 0.3 mm were detected, and the depth from the s...

For this purpose, we need a new technique of increasing and concentrating leakage magnetic flux developed by defects, and the proposed magnetic camera could give the answer. [6]~[8] The magnetic camera is the equipment that quantitatively visualizes the distribution of magnetic flux density in the surrounding by magnetizing the specimen using a magnetic source. By employing 3-D magnetic fluid (magnetic lens) on the opposite side of the magnetic sensor, it concentrates and increases weak magnetic flux density. In this study, a quantitative algorithm using the scan-type magnetic camera, the type used to overcome spatial limitation due to the sensor size among different cam...

The PT and the MT that are applied to the surface test of the specimen have been experiencing problems such as specimen contamination, hazardous chemical exposure risk for the inspector, and the inspector’s extended time in the nuclear power plant due to the long testing time (increased risk of radiation exposure). This study is about the applicability of an alternative nondestructive examination (ANDE) method to solve the aforementioned problems. According to the requirements of ANDE, the NDE technology should be applied with the same or better sensitivity and shorter inspection time than the conventional inspection methods of PT and MT. In order to satisfy these requirements, a flexible-type multi-sensor array was developed in order to scan a certain welding area and complete the inspect...

Semi-shield tunneling is one of the propulsion construction methods used to lay pipes underground... more Semi-shield tunneling is one of the propulsion construction methods used to lay pipes underground between two pits named ‘entrance’ and ‘destination’, respectively. Usually a simple composition, such as ‘a fiducial target at the entrance+a total station (TS)+a target on the machine’, is used to confirm the planned course. However, unavoidable curved sections are present in small-sized pipe lines, which are laid after implementation of a road system, for public works such as waterworks, sewer, electrical power, and gas and communication networks. Therefore, if the planned course has a curved section, it is difficult to survey the course with the abovementioned simple composition. This difficulty could be solved by using the multiple total stations (MTS), which attaches the cross type linear LED target to oneself. The MTS are disposed to where each TS can detect the LED target at the other TS or the base point or the machine. And the accurate relative positions between each MTS and ta...

Magnetic field distribution in an MFLT system is usually simulated by the finite element method (FEM), which required large memory, high computation, and complication of the meshing process. In this paper, an alternative simulation method will be proposed using a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN method provides an easy way of simulation by feeding only the distribution of supplied current and the physical properties such as magnetic permeability without the need for the meshing process. Defects with arbitrary sizes were simulated under different configurations of the MFLT systems. The DNN was trained on the simulation results of the FEM and provided an accurate prediction of the magnetic field distribution of the unseen data. This study paves the way for designing optimized MFLT systems in a bigdata-driven method.

The inspection operates in B-scan mode with an ultrasonic probe passing over the rivet head. The ultrasonic signal is analyzed in the frequency domain using the short-time Fourier transform. To analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the system, B-scan data obtained by scanning a rivet head within ±1 mm from the rivet head center will be used and an algorithm to evaluate the existence of cracks in the rivet using B-scan data will be proposed. To evaluate the performance of the system, its probability of detection (POD) is analyzed. With the data obtained at a scanning speed of 6 mm/s, the system could detect artificial pitting corrosion cracks with areas of 47.28% of the rivet body cross-section area with 90/95% POD.

The technique is based on partial saturation eddy current testing in which a Hall sensor array is used to measure the radial component of the electromagnetic field distributed in the tubes. A finned MRS tube of ferritic stainless steel (SS439) with artificial, flatbottom hole-type defects was used in the experiments. The results show that the proposed system has potential applications in the MSR system or ferromagnetic material tubes in general, which could detect the artificial defects of about 20% of the wall thickness (0.24 mm). Furthermore, the defect volume could be quantitatively evaluated.

The system is a combination of a magnetic sensor array and an ultrasonic sensor. The magnetic sensor array is used to automatically measure the presence of a rivet and its center position. Then, the ultrasonic sensor is guided to the rivet center in order to inspect pitting corrosion cracks in the rivet. The magnetic sensor uses a 64-Hall sensor elements array with a 0.52-mm interval that can measure the rivet center position at a standard deviation of 0.27 mm and 0.42 mm in the scan and sensor directions, respectively. The ultrasonic signal is analyzed in the frequency domain using the short-time Fourier transform that helps better observe the presence of cracks compared with the conventional signal analysis in A-scan present.
