New measurement systems for detection and identification of damage in composite structures using the eddy current method
- Dates: 2024-ongoing
- Place: Silesian University of Technology

The objective of this project is to develop new eddy-current sensors for detection of subsurface damage in CFRP composites and to fill the gap in detectability of damage close to surface, which are not recognizable by ultrasonic testing techniques. As part of the project, it is planned to develop a numerical model of the probe-tested composite material system, which will allow for computer simulations of eddy current inspections. The simulation will result in determining the optimal operating parameters and geometric dimensions of the probe. Obtaining the high sensitivity of the probe, required in this type of inspection, will be achieved by using magnetic shielding in the form of a ferrite cup core.
