This paper is concerned with a new concept for the damper without neither a coil spring nor fluid. The new damper concept consists of the permanent magnets and the cylinder of the conducting material. The opposite pole magnets produces the repulsive forces and this is substituted for the coil spring. The relative motion between the magnets and conducting cylinder produces eddy currents thus resulting in the electromagnetic force, which turns out to be the damping force and is substituted for a damping fluid. This damper is called the eddy current damper(ECD). The important advantage of the proposed ECD is that it does not require any damping fluid and any external power and is non-contacting and relatively insensitive to temperature. In the present study, the proposed ECD was constructed and the experiments were performed to investigate its dynamic characteristics. The experiments shows that the proposed ECD has the excellent damping ability.

와전류를 이용한 전위강하법은 시험체에 와전류를 비접촉식으로 발생 시킬 수 있어 기존의 방식에 비해 결함 검출시 발생하는 오차를 줄일 수 있고 물체의 결함 검출신호의 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 와전류를 이용한 전위강하법의 전자기 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 3차원 유한요소해석과정에서 해석시간을 단축시키기 위해 각 영역별로 MVP, ESP, RMSP, TMSP의 미지수 변수를 부여하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 기존의 전위강하법에 와전류의 개념을 적용하기 위해서 결함의 깊이와 주파수에 대한 영향을 검토하였다. 정확한 결함검출을 위해 검사과정을 초기검사와 정밀검사로 나누어서 실시하여 결함의 위치를 $\pm$2[mm]까지 도출해 낼 수 있었으며 결함의 폭과 크기도 어느 정도 추측해 낼 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 600kJ급 SMES용 열전도판의 와전류 손실의 해석에 대해서 나타내었다. SMES의 운전 상태는 충전, 운전, 방전의 3가지 구간으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 이 중 방전 구간에서는 SMES 코일에서의 전류 감소에 의해서 와전류 손실이 발생한다. 이때 발생하는 와전류 손실은 짧은 시간동안 발생하지만 그 크기가 크기 때문에, SMES 시스템 설계 시 냉각 시스템의 효율과 안정성을 위해서 반드시 고려되어야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 열 전도판의 와전류 손실을 해석하고, 그 형상의 변화에 따른 와전류 손실 값들을 분석하였다.

This paper descries the operation of a heater which was designed to control a motor that generates an eddy current. As the motor drives the rotor of an eddy current heater, magnetic fields are provided within the air gap between an eddy current heater's rotor and stator. Throughout the research, a rotor composed of 8 and 16 pieces of magnets was used to analyze which are the factors that affect the efficiency of this equipment. Test results showed that the magnetic fields are influenced by variable functions including the velocity of a motor and the quantity of magnets composing a rotor.

In order to accurately predict the losses in the power cable, analysis of the eddy current losses in the metal sheath is required. The copper loss is easily calculated by the resistance and current of the conductor, but it is difficult to measure and predict the eddy current generated from the metal sheath. For this purpose, the previous study analyzed the eddy current loss in single phase cable, but there is a limit to apply it because three phase cables are used in real environment. Therefore, in this paper, the eddy current loss occurring in the metal sheath of three phase cable according to the cause was analyzed theoretically. In addition, the eddy current loss occurring in the triangular and horizontal array were predicted through electromagnetic numerical analysis.

Remote field eddy current testing (RFECT) with through-wall transmission characteristic is being applied to pipes ranging from small tubes of heat exchanger to natural gas supply pipelines. Cast iron pipes with nominal diameter of 100mm are used primarily as the waterline pipes. The leakage of water occurs due to defects in the pipes caused by vibration of automobiles and corrosion. But, the use of direct inspection methods such as insertion of inspection equipment inside the pipelines has been limited due to its lack of economical efficiency. Economical development of inspection equipments is possible since RFECT method can be easily employed for system integration and quantitative evaluation of both inside and outside defects. In this study, the development of underground pipeline inspection system was tarried out by using RFECT method in consideration of the characteristics of waterline network. This paper specifically describes the design and production of RFECT pipeline inspection pig using centralizer mechanism, development of remote field eddy current signal acquisition and processing software, and review of RFECT system operation procedures.

In this paper, 3-dimensional electromagnetic numerical analysis is performed about the eddy current(EC) array probe characteristic which is the next generation probe for accurate diagnosis of steam generator(SG) in nuclear power plants(NPPs). ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Standard and X-probe combo calibration standard tube are selected for acquisition of eddy current testing(ECT) signals and this result of compared with the real test signals for reasonability of result. Based on the analysis result of calibration standard tube, ECT signals that are about the defects of pitting, stress corrosion cracking(SCC), multiple SCC and wear is obtained. Material of specimen was Inconel 600 which is usually used for SG tubes in NPPs. The operation frequency of 300 kHz were used. The signal characteristics could be observed according to the various defects. The results in this paper can be helpful when the ECT signals from EC array probe are evaluated and analyzed.

Model-based inversion tools for eddy current signals have been developed by combining neural networks and finite element modeling, for quantitative flaw characterization in steam generator tubes. In the present work, interpretation of experimental eddy current signals was carried out in order to validate the developed inversion tools. A database was constructed using the synthetic flaw signals generated by the finite element model. The hybrid neural networks composed of a PNN classifier and BPNN size estimators were trained using the synthetic signals. Experimental eddy current signals were obtained from axisymmetric artificial flaws. Interpretation of flaw signals was conducted by feeding the experimental signals into the neural networks. The interpretation was excellent, which shows that the developed inversion tools would be applicable to the Interpretation of real eddy current signals.
