Abstract
The method of motion-induced eddy current (MIEC) is significant not only for defect detection but also for speed sensing. This article investigates the effect of excitation frequency on the distribution of MIEC and the speed sensing results. First, a 2-D analytical model of MIEC with ac excitation is proposed, based on Maxwell’s equations. The speed sensor in the model is composed of an excitation coil and a Hall element. The density of the eddy currents within the conductor and the magnetic field strength in the air are calculated. Subsequently, finite element analyses are used to verify the accuracy of the theoretical model. The distribution of eddy current and speed sensing results with dc and ac excitation are analyzed, along with the effect of excitation frequency and conductor moving speed on the eddy current in the specimen and the magnetic field in the air. It was found that the speed sensor based on dc excitation exhibits higher sensitivity in the speed range of 0–30 m/s, while the speed measurement results under 0–120 Hz ac excitation demonstrate improved linearity. In addition, the interference of MIECs on induced eddy currents decreases as the excitation frequency increases. Speed sensing experiments are conducted on a rotating disk, and the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations.
