To detect and evaluate LTL in GFRP, common Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques such as ultrasonic testing and thermography are usually applied. Complementary to these methods, microwave NDT has been found to be one of the promising techniques in quantitative evaluation of GFRP. In this paper, the characterization and imaging of LTL in GFRP by microwave NDT are intensively investigated. A 2D Finite Element Model (FEM) with the Ka-band open-ended waveguide and GFRP sample subject to LTL has been set up and adopted for analysis of field characteristics and testing signals. Following that, an experimental investigation is conducted to further study the feasibility of LTL imaging by microwave NDT with the Ka-band open-ended waveguide. The results from simulations and experiments indicate the applicability of Ka-band microwave open-ended waveguide for detection and evaluation of LTL in GFRP.","PeriodicalId":296740,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics","volume":"193 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134063704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence the lay length of the wire ropes is measured by ECT in this paper. The eddy current (EC) response to the wire rope is simulated. The EC on the surface of the strand below the pancake coil forms a vortex, and the distribution of the EC on the curved surfaces on both sides of the strand is symmetrical. The spacing between the adjacent peaks or troughs of the scanning signal is the distance between the adjacent strands, and the number of peaks or troughs of the scanning signal in a range of the lay length is related to the number of strands of the wire rope. Finally, the experimental validation is performed. The relative error of the lay length of the wire rope assessed by the EC method is less than 0.28%.","PeriodicalId":296740,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127773095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
