Mechanical investigation of perforated and porous membranes for micro- and nanofilter applications
(2007)
Microfabricated 2D inductive eddy-current transducers operating in a reflection differential transmitter-receiver mode are presented for the micro nondestructive detection of micro grinding burn. 2D spiral circular microcoils are employed as excitation coils, while an innovatively conceptualized “interconnected split-D” type differential microcoil is used as a sensing coil. Finite element modelling using COMSOL revealed the efficacy of proposed concept in non-destructive testing of small grinding burn having a width of 100 µm. The induced sensing coil voltage changed as a function of presence of grinding burn, with successful recording of the signal for the investigated lift-off range of 250 µm - 1000 µm for 100 kHz to 1 MHz driving frequencies of excitation coil. Experimental validation showed a 94% increase in the induced voltage of the sensing coil in presence of grinding burn on increasing the driving frequency of excitation coil from 100 kHz to 1 MHz. Thereby, revealing the superficial nature of the grinding burn defect, and showing the efficacy of the proposed concept for the non-destructive testing of grinding burn.
